[hpsdr] repository move needed

[Chris Smith]

Bob

First of all how many HPSDR "customers" are there? How many kits have TAPR sold? I have a feeling this is in the order of 500. Why would all these customers (and I haven't done an SVR update for many a day) want to update suddenly? Could it be that some other group has found a use for the code? Seems unlikely to me that it's just the HPSDR community.

This did NOTHING to relieve the bandwidth issue and has pissed off Flex customers to say the least.  Several of the transactions have been the size of a CD (in the last 24 hours) and it simply cannot be Flex or its developers because they have been gone for days.  The entire PIPE is 1.5 mbps.
