Hi Georg,

When running Ozy with PowerSDR keep in mind that each executable PSDR  
version has its own, distinct, Ozy_Janus.rbf file that contains the  
FPGA code for Ozy that may, or may not, work with other PSDR versions  
depending upon the version.  The Ozy_Janus.rbf file that loads FPGA  
code into Ozy may be quite different for one version of PSDR from that  
which gets loaded with other PSDR versions.  Therefore it is important  
that you run the PSDR executable from the distribution folder that it  
came with since that distribution folder contains the proper  
Ozy_Janus.rbf file for it.

Further, you must power cycle the Atlas bus if you switch from a non- 
diversity PSDR version and a diversity PSDR version so that the proper  
Ozy_Janus.rbf file will reload and put the proper FPGA code into Ozy  
at PSDR startup.

When diversity-PSDR is run with Ozy, make sure you select Setup >

run fine and report Ozy v6.3 in Setup > HPSDR > Firmware Versions.
