Am glad I didn't try,  hi.

That is correct;  and after that occured,  and the light remained
on for a time,  I disconnected the cable linking the hp
unit to my PC.  I returned the PC port to my rig as a CW 
keying port,  PSK31,  etc.  So far,  have found no need to
"look" at the sat rcvr status;  guess no point in it, as long
as the Lock light stays ON,  hi.
