[hpsdr] Fw: Precautions

[Willi Reppel]

 Hi Bob,

 Thanks for your meltdown mournings. Fortunately we have OM Gerd Loch here 
in  the old countries who has the equipment, ability and kindness to test 
and  repair damaged TAPR boards. Without schematics and layout drawings it 
is  almost impossible for a layman to trace faults except for some voltage 
regulators which develop excessive heat after the meltdown.
