[hpsdr] Atlas orientation in Pandora...

[Thompson_Peter at emc.com]

If I'm right in thinking that Pandora will have sufficient internal
space to accommodate Alex and PennyWhistle (or perhaps even a more
powerful/larger PA) might it not make more sense to orient Alex such
that the connectors (BNC, etc) on the edges of Mercury, Penelope are on
the inside rather than sticking out the back of the cabinet - since
they're almost certainly going to be routed to the additional hardware
such as Alex, and Alex's connectors will be the point of connection for
antennas.  Maybe there should be provision for access to Alex from the
back panel?
