New Mercury II software v0145 released

New software for the Mercury II on the Fortec web site (v0145).

Warning 1: If you don't know how to do this, don't!

(Might want to ask Sadoun if you can send the receiver to him or Fortec to have them update the software.)

Warning 2: It is possible that if the electricity went out while software was being downloaded, it might wreck your receiver. Beware!

If you *do* know how to do this, note that Fortec says downloading new software voids your factory warranty.

They recommend software be installed in this order...

-Channel Backup (You will lose everything if this is not done.)
(I make a 2nd backup to my PC after doing the above, and I do this to a new file name with the current date.)

-Factory Reset prior to installing software.

-Install software.

-Factory Reset.

-Channel Recovery (to restore channels).
