[hfsig] Problem with operation

[todd]

Thanks for the info Jerry. That explains a lot.

My problem ended up being that when I loaded the image and started the Pi 3B 
everything to that point was ok. I then updated all per the readme file. At 
that point nothing seemed to work that I tried so removed the SD card and 
formatted it and re-loaded the image file again. After getting the monitor 
working again I left things alone and went through the readme file 
instructions except no updates/upgrades and it now works with no problems.

Also using a Mosley 4 band vertical. Sig is getting into the mid-west and 
southern States. Happy with it now.
