[hpsdr] Looking for guidance

[Phil Harman]

Hi Berndt,

Just to add to Jeremy's reply, I hope that Scotty and Dan are able to go
ahead with the supply of HPSDR boards that TAPR no longer supply.

The have both put a tremendous amount of volunteer effort into making the
TAPR range of boards available - from a manufacture, test and support
viewpoint.  With this experience under their belts then this would be a
low risk option for folks who require boards.

However, should they decide not to proceed then there are others
interested in continuing manufacture and other options.  One way or
another HPSDR boards, no longer available from TAPR, will be available in
the near future.

As an aside, the Beta Metis boards are presently being evaluated by the
Beta testers and so far everything is look good.
