[hpsdr] SunSDR2 - new TRX

[Tim O'Rourke]

More choices usually mean more work to be better than others.
Not sure Hermes was actually meant to be full stream commercial production. Maybe that same for some of the others. Not sure TAPR and group could sell and support 1000's of Hermes.
I really appreciate all the work and effort everyone has put into all the HPSDR products.
Look forward to trying Hermes and what follows. Still believe HPSDR sets the bar for others.
Tim

A more realistic loading would likely be 2 Rx or 3 Rx, leaving room for additional features to be added to the firmware later.
