[hpsdr] TAPR Hermes J15 problem?

[Tim O'Rourke]

We can install headers FB, what is plan on getting signals out of Hermes?
Seems like we need some sort of panel jack arrangement to make an uncluttered connection. We could us a DB15 and incorporate all the Alex signals in one Jack.
Maybe a small Din recepticle(s).
