[hpsdr] Hermes Arrived

[Hermann]

Dear John, All,

glad you've got it working! There will be an update to cuSDR in short, so
please watch out for an announcement here on the list. Lots of new
features, bug fixes etc, but not yet with Tx - this will still take some
time.

Glad to see Hermes conquering the world now! I too, received a new toy
today: CARMA <http://www.nvidia.com/object/carma-devkit.html> - she
eventually will steal some time from the Tx-path-programming of cuSDR ;-)

73, Hermann
