Gary, Jim,

thank you both for the JT4A test.

Gary,

I got no further than a single decode, all others went to Jim ;-)
I must indeed read the manual (although reading a manual can be seen =20
as a sign of weakness ;-) ), but I caught a cold and my head is not =20
into reading serious stuff right now.
Maybe tomorrow ...
