[hpsdr] Pandora end plates

[John Ackermann N8UR]

No, we're not going to try to machine the end plates for each card as it 
would be very expensive to do so.  If anyone *does* do that, it would be 
great to post the mechanical drawing so others could drill their own.

If you want to stabilize the cards, the idea is to use some sort of 
adhesive backed compressible material (like weatherstripping) on the 
inside of the top "hatch".  When the hatch is tightened down, that will 
hold the cards in place.

However, I have to admit that I haven't actually done that yet myself.

BTW -- we thought about some sort of bracket with either plastic or 
metal fingers to hold the top of the cards, but not all of the boards 
have enough component/trace clearance on the top edge to allow that.
