[hpsdr] Penelope T2 orientation - additional info

[n3evl]

Bruce made some interesting observations with respect to the correct 
orientation of the transformer (T2).  Irrespective of the actual power 
measurements, it seems to depend on a) the pin numbering on the 
schematic being correct and b) the correct identification of pin 1 on 
the component.  I'd really like to know the definitive answer here 
since, with Pennywhistle almost completed,  I waited until _yesterday_ 
to reverse T2 as per the errata!  Here's hoping I don't have to re-reverse!
