[hpsdr] backup boards?

[stoskopf at tri.net]

Thanks for the comments.  Thought I'd stir the pot. Tony's Soft Rock
series has been the model for hardware improvement/changes while the
SDR-1000 has been the ultimate in software/firmware improvements.  The
SDR-1000 took early hardware advantage of modularity and then sort of
stopped at good when the unit was completed with no real upgrade boards to
what existed and that's OK, the firmware upgrade has been excellent.

With the Atlas card pretty solid for the future, I suspect/hope that as
A/D improves, maybe faster switches for Gigabite LAN, etc. come along that
this group will provide a continuing series of upgrade cards and like the
Six Million Dollar Man (whoops, bad title!) this project will continue to
be Faster/Smarter.......and we will only wish that the Atlas had more
slots.

Thanks for all the hard work.  This time of year I start thinking: 
Dayton, Dayton, Dayton, but looks like now there is something to look
forward to before that.
