[hpsdr] I2C HCI interface

[Murray Lang]

Hi Charles,

In a way this would be duplication since I2C and USB are both just 
serial interfaces. It's easy to come by microcontrollers with USB 
peripherals now, so I suppose that the motivation for an I2C interface 
is diminished. This of course assumes that the OZY control protocol can 
be dealt with separately from the audio stream.  I don't know enough to 
say whether such a microcontroller would have to deal with the audio 
stream and if so whether one is likely to manage.  Another kind soul 
might be able to answer this.

By the way, I weakened and bought an IC7000. While it filled a lot of 
gaps in my RF generation ability and was a good buy in that sense, I 
find the interface tiring to use.  I'd go for a lot more buttons with 
direct control of the various parameters.

Cheers ,
Murray VK6HL
