I wasted 12 hours this weekend, and there were so many times that MY time got wasted, folks moving in on top of MY run freq... and not listening.. making me repeat and repeat again... MY time is valu

Happy Father's Day to you. I'm thinking that I could ask the experts here, so thank you, all you knowledgable folk, for sharing. My family got a new laptop for me, with 3 usb ports but no serial port
Once again, you fellows have provided an outstanding amount of advice, and this time, there are no diversion, everyone agrees. And I am very thankful, for all the help. I will be ordering a K1EL keye
