[Skimmertalk] Skimmer Server v1.6 with Elad S2 on Win 11 issues

[Don Moman VE6JY]

The S2 is only USB, no ethernet on it.  USB settings have always been set
as per your suggestions, other USB devices run forever between updates on
this computer. I'm just verifying this again, but the S2 runs fine under
its' native ELAD software on this Win11 computer.

Is anyone else running this combination?  This combo is super reliable on
W10 but has never worked reliably since I got this Win 11 mini AMD PC last
fall.
