[hpsdr] Mercury-EU and Mercury what is the difference?

[Peter n Di]

Thanks Steve for that but it is obvious even to me that Mercury-EU is quite
different to the TAPR board just by looking at a sample of a finished board.
So I pose the question again, what are the differences between them?  I am
primarily concerned of backing myself into a corner with a different board
and ending up with a goose as I have no experience with HPSDR and only have
the WIKI and the mailing list for guidance.

Gerd (DJ8AY) is about to do another run of Penelope (234.5 EUR) in November
some time and would appear to have most of the others available.

Hi Peter,

TAPR typically does one run of boards and then stops. At which point anyone 
can manufacture them. Gerd Loch is currently manufacturing several boards at

the moment Mercury-EU  being one of them.
Mercury-EU is identical or near identical to the TAPR produced board. I'm 
going to be purchasoing a new Mercurymyself so I can try out Joe's diversity

work :)
