[hpsdr] Sticky USB connector]

[George Medakovich]

I finally freed my usb cable from Ozy.

After looking at a couple of connectors I concluded that it wasn't likely
to be caused by bent contacts.  So I made a shim out of a piece of 
plastic from
a piece of packaging and pushed it into each side, past the dimples.
This did the trick, I was able to harmlessly pull the cable out without 
damaging
the connectors.

Strange! Mine is stuck also. I noticed this a couple weeks ago when I 
wanted to unplug it and was unable to, and I just confirmed it - it 
won't come off with "finger force". Whazzup with that?
