   1. Terminate Windows any Windows programs using the Red Pitaya
   2. Use PuTTY on Windows to open an SSH session on the RP's IP address or
   name (rp-f0xxxx.local where xxxx is the MAC address of the RP)
   3. Enter the following commands to change to the install directory, stop
   the running SDR, and close the window
   cd /opt/redpitaya/www/apps/sdr_receiver_hpsdr/
   ./stop.sh
   exit
   4. Open your Windows web browser to the Red Pitaya URL or IP address,
   e.g. http://rp-f0xxxx.local/
   5. Click on the green *Application Marketplace* icon
   6. After a short pause, you'll see long list of application icons at the
   URL http://bazaar.redpitaya.com/
   7. Scroll down to the bottom, look for *SDR receiver compatible with
   HPSDR* (careful, there are many with similar names)
   8. Click *Uninstall* (below the icon) and wait
   9. Click *Install*, then Run and test.

Once testing is complete, click *Stop* and verify that a clean power off
and restart automatically launches the receiver app, as explained here

I have not seen that reported yet.
