[hpsdr] Protocol 1 firmware updates for 7000DLE/7000DLE MkII/8000DLE

[Joe Martin]

Hi Bob, 

Thanks much for the feedback. 

Noise floor level here looks good on this 7000DLE.  A jump like that in noise floor generally suggests that timing is likely marginal for the radio.  I would be interested in learning if the v2.5 or v2.4 versions exhibit similar effects on your radio, as the differences between those two versions and v2.6 have to do with different timing solutions being implemented.
