[hpsdr] Penelope upgrade to Pennylane

I still think it would be -really- nice if a small "daughterboard" were
produced to allow a Penelope to be upgraded with the Pennylane enhancements.
It's been a while since I last reviewed the Pennylane schematic. I don't
recall that the changes were that complex. I imagine it would require
different firmware for the FPGA to support the new DAC current control
scheme. 

Sounds like a worthwhile project, what with all the Penelope boards out
there that have -never- been on the air yet. I'd wager that the majority of
boards sold have never gone further than dummy load testing, due to the
delays in Alex.

Just musing...

Merry Christmas and happy Holidays to all the HPSDR enthusiasts out there.
