Yes, that was me, I confirm it is an issue.

I'm of the view that we should go straight to the Lionheart board and not do
a beta first. Whilst a beta may be useful as a  GP FPGA board,  not fitting
componets would be an option if this is what is necessary.  I don't really
see what part of the design is that high risk that would prevent this.

The latest block diagram of the proposed Lionheart is at

Based on the work that we have done to date with the Xylo,  the changes I
would make would be to add  PTT, dot and dash inputs on the board edge
rather than bringing them onto the board via the Atlas bus.
