Joe K5SO has indicated that some users experience this difficulty, while 
many others do not, using various versions of HPSDRProgrammer.  This is 
the second time it happened to me, but I upgraded ANAN firmware other 
times without encountering any difficulty.  Apparently, no rhyme or 
reason can be determined for the cause of this problem at this time.

         The USB blaster is only needed if you experience difficulty 
when upgrading firmware.  It is a utility device not included with the 
radio as shipped.  I purchased mine as insurance against bricking my 
ANAN-10 some time ago.  Nice tool to have in your tool box.

         The process is not difficult if you follow the directions. I 
can help you if you run into difficulty.
