Hmmmm ...you've probably still got a version mismatch somewhere ... 
what version  of PowerSDR (what does it say in the title bar - 
callsign and date).

Does it work with just Mercury?  or just Penny?   What OS level are 
you running?

If you run  initozy11.bat by hand from a command prompt does it 
appear to be able to load the FX2 and FPGA correctly - eg. run
         initozy11.bat >runlog.txt 2>&1

I'd be interested to see the output of runlog.txt to see if it has 
any errors on loading the fx2 or the fpga.

Also try running PowerSDR.exe >runglog2.txt  2>&1 - I'd be interested 
in seeing the output of runlog2.txt

You can also run PowerSDR.exe 
----no-firmware-version-check >runlog3.txt 2>&1  - this will force to 
ignore the firmware version check.  It likely won't work but the 
runlog3.txt file may give us some more info.

Regards,

Bill (kd5tfd)
