[hpsdr] Penelope versus Penny(Lane)

[Helmut Oeller]

Hi Merv,

stepping aside all doubts, I would recommend to use the HPSDR programmer 
and to flash the latest firmware v.1.8. on your Penelope/Pennylane

This is required to be able to interrogate the boards and get back a version number.  If you have an incompatible firmware set (among Ozy/Magister/Metis, Penny/Penelope, and Mercury), then the signals may not pass thru properly.
