[hpsdr] New P*SDR for OpenHPSDR released (v3.0.4)

[w3sz]

Hi Doug et al,

Boy, PowerSDR is really  progressing!  Thanks!!

I really like the Click Tune Drag feature!  When using it, just remember 
that you can't click to select a frequency farther away from your center 
frequency than +/- 0.5*SamplingRate, even though the Panafall will show 
you a more extended frequency range.

I am having a problem with the Enable Static IP Address feature.  It 
never finds the static IP addresses, even though I [think] I am 
following the suggestions on how to use it.

When I try to select a static IP address, In addition to getting the 
"Error Starting HPSDR hardware, is it connected and powered" message, I 
also get an error message saying "PortAudio Error - 9988 "Invalid Stream 
Pointer"..

My radios' static IP addresses are 192.168.1.64 and 192.168.1 7 and my 
computer running PowerSDR is at 192.168.1.138.  Right now, until I get 
this working, I make sure that I only have one radio or the other 
powered on at a time (and not both), not wanting to complicate things.

I try to use this by:

1.  Selecting "Enable Static IP Address on the HPSDR Setup Hardware 
Config window
2.  putting ip address in boxes
3.  clicking radio button for IP address I want
4.  clicking set IP
5.  clicking Apply / OK [redundant I realize]
6.  closing Power SDR
7.  restarting Power SDR
8.  trying both options of clicking again and not clicking again on 
SetIP before
9.  clicking Start to run the radio.

After getting the error messages above, I can just unclick Enable Static 
IP Address and click Full Network Discovery, and then when I click Start 
everything runs fine, and the correct Metis IP address shows up on the 
HPSDR Setup Hardware Config window.  So the Full Network Discovery 
option is working fine with both of my radios.

Thanks in advance,

Roger Rehr

I am sure I am doing something wrong, but not sure what.
