[hpsdr] JANUS: Update on Alpha

[Robert McGwier]

Steven:

It is my opinion that these parts are massive overkill for the dsPIC3X.  
You would need to need to use (software) floating point to take 
advantage of their capabilities rather than the (fast enough to be 
interesting) 16 bit core and the 16 bit fixed point arithmetic.  A top 
notch 16 bit part is good enough in my opinion.
