[hpsdr] Neat front end from Phil

Ahti-

One more question. I see you call out a MS40B transformer for the RF and
clock input coupling. Is that a Philmore part #? What is the turns
ratio?  I think one of the  Mini-Circuits ADT series parts should be
similar.

Ray,

I forgot the draft layout. Here it is. The size is about 44mm x 42mm :

this works, I will leave it permanently inside my SDR-1000.
