[hpsdr] HPSDR(Mercury, Pannylane, adn Metiz) and PowerSDR version

[Tokio]

Hi Dave,

Thank you very much for your email.
According to the manual of Metis, I tried to flash Penelope with
HPSDRProgrammer_V2_nopcap 2.
I put a jumper on JP1 of Metis as well as JP7 of Penelope(Mercury is
removed).

The Programmer is complaining that two boards are found and requesting no
J1.
Please look at the attached picture.
