My previous message did not make it, being greater than 10k, and it is
still awaiting moderator approval.<br>
Let's try with this, with a smaller figure.<br>
<br>
-----------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
- Loaded Mercury with 2.7. Everything went smooth.<br>
- For the time being Penelope is not installed, Mercury nearest to the
power connector, Ozy at its right<br>
- Started PowerSDR latest version (May 28th), then switched HPSDR on.<br>
- Clicked on START, initozy is called and runs to completion without
errors.<br>
- At this point a relay in HPSDR starts chattering at a rate I would
say
of 50 Hz.<br>
- Setting in PowerSDR the Preamp to off stops the chatter of the relay.<br>
- Tried to calibrate, with a -70 dBm, 15 MHz signal from a W&G
generator<br>
- During the calibration phase the preamp is temporarily switched on,
and the chatter resumes,<br>
to stop again when the preamp is switched off. <br>
- At the end of the calibration, what is possible to see on the screen
is what is reported in the screen capture below.<br>
The trace is quite unstable, it looks like there is an oscillation
somewhere. HPSDR is completely unusable.<br>
