[hpsdr] Mercury sees first RF here

[Phil Harman]

Hi Ron,

Good to hear your Mercury board is working. The noise you hear sounds 
more like you are dropping data over the USB link.  What PC are you 
using?

You may want to try increasing the Process Priority of PowerSDR. Under

Setup>General>Options

try setting Process Priority to Above Normal or Real Time (I've never 
been able to get High to work).

We will also shortly have a code update that will allow you to sample 
at 48kHz and 96kHz - that will reduced the PC load.
