[hpsdr] Diversity Setup Question

[Joe Martin K5SO]

Hi Rick,

1) It is not necessary to delete your mbd file. The original mbd file  
will work just fine with all of my versions of PSDR code.

2)  As your mbd file is apparently now deleted, I would try to run  
Doug's PowerSDR v1.19.3.4 to see if it will run properly bringing up  
the one-time initialization selections.  If it doesn't run either, I  
would manually put an mbd file in the 1.19.3.4 directory and give that  
a try with either Doug's PSDR program or my diversity20 program, it  
shouldn't matter which you try.  If it does run the initialization  
routine then exit the program when the initialization is completed,  
cycle the power on Atlas (I assume you're running Ozy or Magister and  
not Metis;  if you're running Metis you don't need to power cycle  
Atlas), and run PowerSDR v1.19.3.4.diversity20 with the newly created  
mbd file in the 1.19.3.4 directory.  In case you have trouble creating  
a new mbd file and cannot locate one to use, I have attached my mbd  
file to an email to your address to put into the 1.19.3.4 directory.   
That mbd file will have my personal settings in it of course but it  
should allow you to get up and running if the missing mbd file was the  
culprit.

I'm going to be on the road most of tomorrow (Sunday) so won't have  
access to email for a bit but I'll try to check my email when I get to  
my destination.  I won't be back to my home QTH until Wednesday so if  
you don't get a response back from me immediately I probably was  
unable to access my email at the destination.  I will get back to you  
as soon as I can however.  I'm sure we can get you up and running  
pretty quickly.

73,  Joe K5SO
