[Bill Diaz]

Joe,
     Angelia 1.8 upgrade without issues.  Thanks.  However, 
HpSDRProgrammer V2 will not allow me to set a static IP address.

If that does not succeed power cycle Angelia again and try to update the firmware using the bootloader mode in the HPSDRProgrammer program before resorting to using a blaster cable to re-load the “output_file.pof” into the EEPROM.
