[hpsdr] HRD and Windows 7, curiouser and curiouser - again!

[Bill Diaz]

Peter,
     Running DM780, VAC and connected to PowerSDR 2.2.50 running Win7 64 
bit 6GB RAM on an I3 processor.  Works just fine over my LAN.

     The radio is an ANAN-10/Hermes using a static IP.  I do have drop 
outs, but the issue is in the radio, not the network, but the first 
thing you see is PowerSDR locking up.  Then you cannot ping the radio.  
The Physical LAN connection is still good and the FPGA status light 
flashes normally, just unable to get anything into or out of the radio.
