[hpsdr] Atlas mounting

[n3evl]

Good question, Paul -- I'm also planning on mounting Atlas in a recycled PC 
chasis that has a slide-out tray on which the mother board normally is 
mounted.  This has two raised mountpoints that align pretty well with two of 
the holes in Atlas but I need to drill two more holes for the other two and 
will need some kind of spacers -- I was planning on using metal nuts and 
bolts but will await the answer to your question before I try that - 
wouldn't want to let the smoke out prematurely!

73, Pete, N3EVL
