[hpsdr] Questions re: FPGA firmware

[John Marvin]

According to the protocol, an application has to request more than 1 
receiver before the additional receivers are enabled. Is there some 
additional overhead involved when using the 7 receiver version even when 
only 1 receiver is enabled?

Thanks,

John
