[hpsdr] New Hermes code released

[Phil Harman]

All,

There is a new version of the Hermes code (V2.0) which will be available 
shortly from  openHPSDR.org  \ Downloads.

This provides the following features:

- fix for the lock-up problem some users have been experiencing
- Increased number of receivers from two to four
- Support for switching the input attenuator in 1dB steps from 0  - 31dB
- Improved Alex support when using multiple receivers

The increase in the number of receivers does increase the current 
consumption. On my Hermes board, with four receivers running, the board 
draws approximately 700mA from a 13.8V supply.

Please see the Hermes User Guide for instructions relating to installing 
this new version of code.

Many thanks to Joe, K5SO, for developing the FPGA code and the members of 
the beta test team.
