[hpsdr] openHPSDR at the forefront of SDR development

Yes, it does replace a large percentage of the FPGA code, not so sure
about more powerful, but many more enthusiasts will be able to contribute.
 If there is enough spare capacity, or a future board has, then it could
also replace the PC.

Yes.

The data between the SDR Server and PC will only be low bandwidth.  The
Audio and bandscope data can be compressed so that we are perhaps only
looking at 200kbps or even less.  For digital modes it may be necessary to
send I&Q data to the PC which will increase the bandwidth required.


> We will see what the future brings.

Yes, early days for DFC yet. We still have a lot to learn!
