[hpsdr] LPU assembly etc.

[n3evl]

Thanks to all who responded re pics etc and advice on the Powerpole 
connectors.  I've got some nice pics to work from and got some powerpole 
connectors on order so I can plug in to 13.8V when ready.

I visited my nearest electronics store this past weekend and the sales 
guy took me over to the rack where the Andersen Powerpoles were hanging 
- the only ones they had were about 3" wide and probably handle some 
enormous amperage!  Same shape and style as the little ones I needed, 
just HUGE.  I guess I'll keep them in mind for Thor :)

73, and thanks again.

Pete, N3EVL
