Hi Bob
I just tried to duplicate this on my Dos/XP dualboot
system, and it worked ok. I even put in odd ball
cq zones and things other then "59" for a signal
report. It would even accept "wrong" things like
UA1A
53 04
Which is really wrong!
Suggestions: Don't run TR with Win 2k.
1) delete the restart.bin and try again
2) your confing.sys may need some tweaking
There is good info in the manual, or I can
show you what I'm using.
