[hpsdr] Magister, Mercury and Pennylane: New Production

[Kjell Karlsen]

Hi Scotty.

OK, I understand.

I have used all 7 open-collector outputs for the control of the LP filters  
in the PA so it is not possible to use one to start the ATU. I have  
installed a "Push To Tune" button on the front of the HPSDR TX/RX to start  
the ATU after activated TUN on PowerSDR.

73, Kjell
