[hpsdr] 50mw power on penelope

[Terry Fox]

  If I remember correctly, and you are using PowerSDR, the power levels 
for the individual bands is set to that 50mW level.  My setup is down at 
the moment, but go look for a setup page that allows transmit power 
controls for each band.  Move the level up for the band/bands that you want.

I had the same issue when I first fired my Penelope up, and found that 
the above did the trick.
