[hpsdr] Quick Startup Guide (Windows)

[Dick Faust]

I think the guide needs some updating

I just spent about 2 days in an attempt to get all of my HPSDR hardware 
updated to the latest versions.
Since I have 3 setups, it is necessary to disassemble everything and 
move to a larger workspace. I have an open frame Atlas that I 
occasionally use with Janus and Ozy for some Softrocks, a Pandora box 
with Atlas, Mercury, Penny, Metis, Alex & Excalibur and a Hermes.

I also use the open frame Alex to reprogram the boards, which worked 
fine for everything except Janus even though there is a 
"Ozy_Janus_v2.4.rbf" file in the download directory.

So one thing that needs to be clarified is how to update the Ozy - Janus 
hardware.

Another would be how to setup to run multiple instances of each program 
for different hardware configurations.

Additionally a better description of the W5WC "PowerSDRxxxxxxxx" 
programs so you have an idea of which is which and does what.

Links should be added to the "downloads page" and the 
"POWERSDR_USER_NOTES.pdf" location.

Finally Net Framework 3.5 is also needed in addition to the full Net 
Framework 4 or the windows software will not run.

I am also upgrading my "Radio" PC to a Intel G860 with 4g Ram on a new 
Asus H61M-A MB running XP-SP3.
My old system, which worked just fine with Hermes and both 
PowerSDR_mRX_v3.0.11.0 and PowerSDR_RX2_v2.2.14.0 after the proper 
programs were finally installed, is an Intel Atom 330 [1.6GHz Dual Core] 
with 2Gig of memory running XP SP3.

I experiences no problems with IP addresses on Hermes either on or off 
my network which has a Linksys WRT610N with two Trendnet TEG-S8g Gigabit 
Switches which gives me16 wired connections in addition to the Dual Band 
wireless.  The WRT610N permits reservation of IP addresses to MAC 
Addresses, so fixed IP's are not really necessary.

Hope to find out how to update my Ozy Janus boards.
