[hpsdr] Hermes J16 right speaker polarity

[Dick Faust]

I should point out that when I did the 1.7 version of the HERMES manual 
in October of 2012 this was clarified and  has not changed through the 
latest revisions of the manual.  If anyone cares to look back on the 
reflector this condition was explained too many times to enumerate in 
one post !!!

The way the board was designed was the way the board was designed and 
anyone saying it is wrong is wrong themselves.  Just because the 
numbering does not conform to your opinion of what is correct does not 
make the make the pin numbering wrong .

Just flip the cable over and run it out to a breakout board that has the 
pins numbered as you would like or use a magic marker to renumber the 
pins.  The connector was not designed to go on the underside of the 
board - go read the reflector.
