***** High Performance Software Defined Radio Discussion List *****


For multiple-Mercury board users, Mercury v7.1 firmware is available for 
download from

http://www.k5so.com/HPSDR_downloads.html

This firmware version corrects a problem in Mercury v7.0 in which the 
inter-board phase relationships changed when the operating frequency was 
changed.  It is strongly recommended that users of the K5SO diversity, beam 
steering, and direction finding programs should update to Mecury v7.1.

Mercury v7.1 is one component of a compatible, special-purpose (namely, 
multiple-Mercury) firmware set that includes

Mecury v7.1
Metis v1.7 (suggested firmware number)
Ozy v2.2 (suggested firmware number)
Penelope v1.7 (suggested firmware number)

in accordance with the proposed USB protocol document v1.35 (suggested 
version number).  All of the files and documents are available from the 
above-mentioned website.

Mercury v7.1 is included in the download folder Firmware_Update_Package.zip 
(3FEB2012) and in the USBBlaster-Binaries.zip folder (3FEB2012) on the 
website.

The firmware set is compatible with most of the existing PC programs for 
HPSDR, with the caveat that only a single receiver is implemented in each 
Mercury FPGA.  Multiple Rx operations are performed using multiple Mercury 
boards.

73,  Joe K5SO
