• Dual-Mercury Program download page
• Triple-Mercury Programs
  • Triple-Mercury Program Directional Steering download page (this program also works for directional steering with only two Mercury boards present on the Atlas bus)
  • Triple-Mercury Direction Finding Program (triple Mercury boards/antennas are supported)

NOTES:

• It is suggested that if you do not currently have the W5WC PowerSDR v2.2.3 program running on your machine that you download and install W5WC's program first to ensure that the FlexRadio Systems folder exists on your machine. PowerSDR v2.2.3.dual_Mercury uses files in that folder.

• The small (temporary) HPSDR LPU power supply does not supply sufficient current to the Atlas bus to support multiple Mercury boards, Metis or Ozy or Magister, Excalibur, and Penelope simultaneously. Please ensure that you use a power supply capable of supplying the required current at 5 VDC if you wish to run multiple Mecury boards on your Atlas bus. To check that your power supply is sufficient, measure the 5 VDC line on the Atlas bus to verify that it is actually 5V when all of your boards are in place and running on the bus.
• Communications protocol document (suggested v1.35)

 

• USING PENELOPE AS A SIGNAL GENERATOR:
  • Signal-generator modification (3.5 MB executable) This version, PowerSDR v1.19.3.4.sig_gen, enables the use of Penelope as a general-purpose signal generator for in-band and out-of-band frequencies for test bench work. Caution: it is your responsibility with this version to ensure that you do not inadvertently radiate transmissions outside legally authorized amateur radio bands!
