[hpsdr] Problems with Updated Firmware Software.

[Joachim DL7JP]

Dear all,

similar problems here: I upgraded today to the most recent version of
PennyMerge 
and Penny/Merc. Software: all went fine first, calibration OK, good RX, also
TX.

After PC reboot and power cycling the boards lots of pops/clicks except at 
48 kHz. I could not get it to run properly again in any setting, and gave up
after 2h of trying; now I am back at the previous version, which runs OK at 
19k2 sample rate and 1k buffer.

Joachim.
