[hpsdr] Mercury HW Build Rev

[Joe Martin K5SO]

Hi John,

Actually, the firmware for Mercury is under active revision at the  
moment.  You are correct that the latest official version on the SVN  
is Mercury v3.0;  however, there is another, unofficial version from  
W1BW, Mercury v3.0 that exists on the W1BW trunk for NRx.

The primary difference between the two Merc v3.0 versions is that the  
current official version does not support multiple-receivers-on-a- 
single-Mercury board nor does it support multiple Mercury boards  
whereas the unofficial version does support multiple-receivers-on-a- 
single-Mercury board but it does not support multiple Mercury boards  
properly nor does it have Alex interfacing.

I am currently nearly finished with a new version (probably will be  
officially released by Phil as Mercury v3.1 shortly) that supports all  
of the latest Alex interfacing, multiple-receivers-on-a-single-Mercury  
mode and multiple-Mercury boards.

If you do not have a need presently for the multiple-receivers-on-a- 
single-Mercury mode or multiple-Mercury boards mode then the current  
Mercury v3.0 should work for you with a single Mercury board until the  
newer, more general Mercury v3.1 is released.

73,  Joe K5SO
