Quick Startup Guide
USBIO Driver
Before connecting your HPSDR equipment you will need to install the USBIO Driver from the Flex Radio site. You will need to have administrator rights on your Windows system for this install to complete. During install make sure you check the box that allows this driver to be used by everyone, not just the current user. Once the install has completed reboot your PC even if the driver install does not prompt you to restart.
(Note: HPSDR requires that your PC has USB 2.0 ports. USB 1.x ports will not work.)
.NET Framework
Currently, the HPSDR version of PowerSDR requires that your system have Microsoft's .NET Framework versions 1.1 and 2.0 installed. Most systems already have the framework, however, in case you need them here are the links:
PowerSDR Software
To use Mercury, you will need the latest released PowerSDR software from the "PennyMerge" branch of the open-source development tree. The repository is managed by Subversion, which is a popular colaborative software/firmware development tool for open-source projects. To access this software you will need to install and use a Subversion (SVN) client. There are several out there, however, TortoiseSVN for Windows XP can be downloaded from here:
Once TortoiseSVN is installed, follow these steps:
1: Create the following directory structure C:\HPSDR\PennyMerge (this is an arbitrary convention, but logical and easy to find)
2: Navigate to HPSDR Click Start and select Run... Type: C:\HPSDR then [Enter] You should see a PennyMerge directory in the window that opens.
3: Download the latest software Right click on the PennyMerge directory Select SVN Checkout... Type or copy/paste the following line into the "URL of repository" field:
svn://206.216.146.154/svn/repos_sdr_windows/PowerSDR/branches/kd5tfd/PennyMerge/bin/Release
Click OK
At this point, TortoiseSVN should begin downloading the most current released version of the PowerSDR client for HPSDR. Once it completes go to step 4.
(Note: To update your installation with subsequent releases, you can right click the PennyMerge directory and select SVN Update...)
(Note: You will also need Microsoft's .NET runtime versions 1.1 and 2.1 installed)
4: Create a PowerSDR desktop shortcut Double-click on the PennyMerge directory and locate the PowerSDR application file (PowerSDR.exe) Right-click on PowerSDR.exe then drag and drop it to your desktop Select "Create Shortcuts Here"
(Note: It is no longer required to start PowerSDR with the --ignore-pp-ptt flag.)
