[hpsdr] Hermes & Multiple Mercury Boards

[Joe Martin K5SO]

Hi Gordon,

Yours is a question that has come up several times before and while,  
of course, anything is possible to do if you work hard enough toward  
achieving the goal, frankly, the Hermes configuration is not conducive  
to doing diversity reception so the formal answer to your question is  
likely to be "no", as that's not what Hermes was designed to do.  The  
Hermes designers may want to comment further on it.

The diversity issue has to do with using a single clock source for all  
receivers so that they are all coherent with each other.  Regardless  
of the initial Hermes design goals, I'm sure there will be at least be  
some kind of an effort by someone (perhaps me if no one else cares to  
take up the challenge) to examine the possibilities once Hermes  
becomes available.   We'll simply have to take a hard look at what  
might be possible to do with it after it comes out.

73,  Joe K5SO
