This is a "newbie" question, please have mercy. I must have missed the procedure for loading the new firmware for Mercury.<br>What is the "USB Blaster"? Will I need a special piece of hardware to load the new firmware? Or is this something that may be taken care of automatically during Start up of the Power SDR Software?<br>I am hoping that it will be as simple as getting the latest SVN release of PowerSDR.<br>Thanks for the help. 73, Bill<br><br>W.B.Runyon,Sr.<br>Amateur Radio WF4R (FM16ts)<br>Chesapeake, VA<br><br>Feb 11, 2009 07:23:13 PM, <a href="mailto:mark@amos-family.com" class="parsedEmail" target="_blank">mark@amos-family.com</a> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 3px solid rgb(102, 153, 204);">***** High Performance Software Defined Radio Discussion List *****<br><br>Phil,<br><br>FWIW, no problems loading 2.6.
