[hpsdr] New Hermes board

[Dick Faust]

Hi Kjell

I have a small request in the redesign.  It would be nice if you could 
incorporate an output of the the 122.88MHz clock similar to the Mercury 
EXT CLK [J1] and a 3 pin header.  A SN65LVDS1DBVR in a SOT-23-5 is a 
nice small part to do the job.

Thanks for your efforts, 73
