[hpsdr] ... "all weather testing" :-)

[ke5eup at ke5eup.com]

Well mine had a boot print on it, but I just snapped them in and fired 
the atlas up all the lights came on and none of the smoke showed up. I 
will fun them for several hours this weekend when I get the cable built. 
Here are the pictures, My mail lady signed my box and checked the square 
that said damaged, and I kept all of the packaging.
