[hpsdr] cuSDR64 Metis version

[Hermann]

Hi Dale,

thanks a lot for your kind words! That is always motivation enough, esp. if
these are coming from someone with coding background!

Re the 384 kHz sample rate: this is ONLY for Hermes; the Mercury firmware
has not been updated to 384 kHz. If you try Mercury with 384 kHz you get
exactly the behavior you've described.

73, Hermann
