[hpsdr] CAT via Serial Port in piHPSDR

[John Melton]

The current implementation that Steve Wilson, KA6S, has implemented for 
piHPSDR is for incoming CAT commands so it can be controlled by another 
application like rigctl, fldigi  or wsjt-x, not to send commands to 
control another device.

I have copied Steve in to see what he thinks.
