Hello Joe,<br> Thanks for the info. However, by re-reading (at least four or five times) Appendix A in the Metis user guide<br>I wiggled my way though it. I found an error in Appendix A. The last paragraph on page 16 leads one to believe<br>that you click the 'Program' button while still in the "Program Tab". However, if you go back to the "Metis boot loader" Tab<br>and click "Program" button all goes well. At least it appeared to, where as I got nothing otherwise.<br><br>And, I was able to load the Mercury and Penelope Firmware as well, after getting Metis back in order.<br><br>Now, HOWEVER, I'm still having trouble with getting "Power SDR" to load. Which I've not been able to do at all yet.<br>I do not think that an attached file will go through the reflector, so if it's all right with you, I'd like to sent it to you direct.<br>That is a snip of the Fatal Error that pops up during the opening of PowerSDR.<br><br>I do appreciate your help. All you smart guys that actually have a brain makes me jealous. I'm 68 now but I'm <br>still plugging away.
