[hpsdr] Pandora question

[John Ackermann N8UR]

As you can see from the drawings on the wiki, there is some room in the 
front of the box that could hold an amplifier or other accessories.

However, we did not design for any particular device to go into that 
space and can make no guarantees about adequacy of cooling, etc.  In 
other words, something may fit in there, but you're on your own as far 
as integration goes.

There really wasn't any other choice given that the possible 100 watt 
amplifier doesn't exist yet, and our goal was to get something out the 
door NOW.

However, Pennywhistle should be able to mount vertically in the 
available space, but what may need to be done for adequate heat removal 
is as yet unknown.
