My card order is now <br> 6:Merc<br> 5:Ozy<br> 4:Penny<br> <br> And it seems to be working fine. I haven't tried any other board order since<br> upgrading, but this is a different order than I was using before the upgrade<br> to 2.6.<br> <br> The version # shows 26 in the Firmware Versions table. Other than the<br> change in the Mercury status led's haven't seen anything unusual with<br> v1.10.4+ BaseSVN 2025 version of the KD5TFD PowerSDR dated 11Feb2009.<br> <br> Is it still necessary to have only OZY and Mercury installed when we do the<br> Mercury firmware upgrades via the USB Blaster method? <br> <br> Also, is there any reason that the JP7 jumper shouldn't just stay shorted<br> all the time?<br> <br> Sorry if these have been covered in the reflector discussions - I've been<br> over in F land on business and wasn't able to keep up with the reflector<br> discussions.<br> <br> Nice to see Alex getting ready to take off!!
