Hi Joe

Thanks for coming back.

>I strongly recommend installing the latest set of firmware into your  
boards before continuing;  Mercury v3.1, Ozy v2.1, Penelope v1.6

I had previously updated these to Mercury v3.0 and Penelope v1.5; these are
now at 3.1 and 1.6 respectively.
I cannot find firmware update batch files for Ozy, I had assumed that it was
booted from the /FlexRadio Systems/HPSDR folder at startup. In that
directory I have:-
Initozy11.bat
Initozy-janus.bat
Ozy_Janus.rbf
Ozy_Janus.v12.rbf

####

>By the way, are the version numbers you reported the  
actual numbers you set in the Setup > HPSDR > firmware version  
window...or what you intended to put into them?    The number you  
report for Penelope makes no sense

These were numbers reported in the PowerSDR setupmenu on the General...
HPSDR tab.

####

Having updated Mercury and Penny, I now have an error message from PowerSDR
at startup "Invalid firmware level Ozy>=16, Penny >=12 and Mercury >=27
required. I am getting:-
Ozy = 18
Penny = 0
Mercury = 31
(again from PowerSDR setup). Looks like a problem with Penny? Or another
side effect of the Ozy firmware being out of step? I re-loaded Penny's
firmware and the "green text" loader window declared a successful load (as
it did with Mercury).

Many thanks
