[hpsdr] Angelia_v2.8 firmware download

[mstangelo at comcast.net]

Joe,

I upgraded form v2.7 to v2.8 using HPDSRProgrammerV2 nopcap 2.0.4.5 2013-12-1 ans in programmed successfully. The erase cycle took about a minute. The programming cycle took less that 5 seconds.

I checked the power and the maximum 10 meter power dropped to 70 watts.

I downgraded from v2.8 to 2.7 with the HPDSRProgrammerV2. The erase cycle took about a minute. It then stataed "1 board found". There was not any programming message. I ran a discover and it showed Angelia v2.7. 

I checked the power and the maximum 10 meter increased to 100 watts.

Why didn't the programming ststus display when downgrading from v2.8 to v2.7?

Why is the maximum 10 meter power lower on 2.8. I also had this issue with v2.6?

Norbert and Les, 

I am not able to reproduce your failures here; I’ve been able to switch back and forth between Angelia_v2.7 and Angelia_v2.8 repeatedly without any problems.  

Keep in mind that if Angelia_v2.7 is in your ANAN-100D it will take HPSDR Programmer about 68 seconds or so to erase the EEPROM, whereas if Angelia_v2.8 is in your ANAN-100D the erase time is only about 17 seconds.  

I’m not sure what to think about your results; we’ll see if they are generally observed, I’ve only heard of these two instances of failure among several several successful reports from users so far.
