[hpsdr] Mounting Hermes

[FRANCIS CARCIA]

Hi All,
How about mounting the Hermes board upside down so heat will rise off the A/D into the ground plane. So the markings on the end plates just need to be flipped. Yea I'm being crazy but I don't like hot parts if it is avoidable.
I'm actually considering soldering a brass threaded spacer to the thermal pad and then bolt it to the case.
