High Performance Software Defined Radio Discussion List *****<BR><BR>Hello
all.<BR><BR>My wife went off to see her mother for the weekend, so I have some
time to<BR>try out Mercury.<BR><BR>I first powered it up with the original
firmware from TAPR. Just Mercury and<BR>Ozy on the Atlas for now. It seemed to
work OK, with just a few audio<BR>dropouts. Not too concerned about that, I
figure that some tweaking of<BR>buffer sizes, etc may be in order.<BR><BR>I
proceeded to follow the instructions for loading new firmware into
Mercury<BR>via Ozy. Followed the excellent instructions for loading
ByteBlaster driver,<BR>etc. All proceeded normally. I loaded ver 2.3 into
Mercury OK.<BR><BR>Now when I start PowerSDR, it appears my baseline noise
level has risen to<BR>about -85 dBm, with the preamp off. I am sure it was
closer to -125 dBm<BR>before. I am using the same board pattern in Atlas and
same P/S as before<BR>the Mercury firmware upgrade.<BR><BR>Strange... Any
thoughts?<BR><BR>-Bruce Beford, N1RX<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
