<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mercury came to life this afternoon -- after a few
mis-starts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Great copy on 40 meter CW this
afternoon!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will outline those areas that I had to deal with,
that are likely the specific areas some owners are still having
difficulty.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Quick Startup Guide was very
helpful.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. USBIO Drive</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>IF you plug in the USB cable from OZY to your PC,
without first downloading the proper USBIO driver, then MS Windows will have a
Yellow Question Mark in the Hardware/Driver setup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Load this proper driver FIRST.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. NET Framework [Likely the show stopper for
many!]</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Although I have the NET 1.0 and NET 2.0
Frameworks previously loaded on my MS WinXP computer -- </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>it was not until I downloaded and ran the NET
Framework 2.0 SP1 files ... </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that the PowerSDR software came to life and I heard
audio (and saw on computer screen)!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. PowerSDR Software. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Follow the instructions here, since the PowerSDR on
the FlexSite will NOT work (does not have HPSDR as an option). IF you
previously loaded, uninstall via Windows Remove Programs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Using the lower 1/8" plug (Line Out), I
unplugged the sound systems from my computer's sound card into this jack on
Mercury. Now I can hear the receiver AF output through my computer
speakers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Keep experimenting !</FONT></DIV>
