[hpsdr] OZY Startup Info

Doesn't cost anything to put both A and K if space permits.  That would 
make all the boards the same?

Then we only have to keep the builders on point as to what parts they are 
getting.

Currently the only part we have in bulk at the TAPR warehouse it the CK170
in red and green.  As mentioned before P/N change was an issue with
getting enough from one supplier vs. 2 or 3 to get enough.  The abreviated
specs I used to compare didn't mention markings.  Who'd thunk marking the
cathode had fallen out of practice.
