[hpsdr] Multiple HPSDRs

[K1rqg at aol.com]

I am not sure if others have attempted to run multiple instances of  HPSDRs
simultaneously on the same computer with more than two sets of  hardware.
I have tried a few different configurations with success:
 
1.  One HPSDR running with Metis and one with OZY/Magister. 
 
2.  Two HPSDR each running with Metis.
 
3.  Three HPSDR each running with Metis.
 
4.  Three HPSDR, two with Metis and one with OZY/Magister.
 
5.  Two HPSDR with Metis, and one is master the other is slave with  DDUtil.
 
This is all run on and I7 WIN 7-64 computer and CPU usage never averaged  
more 
than 12%. 
 
BUT, one must be extremely careful with the data base used. I first ran  
each of
the hardware setups individually and first making sure there were no  
conflicts
with ports, exported the database to the desktop (easiest to find) and  
renamed 
each data base appropriately. I named mine:
 
Diversity.xml for the K5SO configuration (dual Mercury/Metis)
W5WC.xml for second Metis system
N1AC.xml for third (borrowed) Metis system
OZY.xml for the fourth system with Magister
 
Once these data files are properly created (including CAT control and PA  
calibration)
I start up PowerSDR software, but before clicking on "START", I go to SETUP 
 >
IMPORT DATABASE and import the proper database for the proper  hardware.
 
I did not try running four systems, and BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERLOAD  the
receiving systems. Some would ask why run multiple radios, and I can  
explain
that if need be!
