Re: LF: 500kHz Grabber.

Rik,

Thanks for your suggestion. I am not familiar with Corel Photo paint & it does need to be automatic as I can't spend time editing each upload ie. two at 10 minutes & 1 at 1 hr. I am trying reducing the JPG at capture time by lowering the JPEG quality percentage on SpecLab. I have taken care of the G4JNT beacon upload by using *.png & the file is only a few kb's rather than 10's of kb's using *.bmp & uploading at 1 hr intervals instead of 15 minutes.

Gary,

maybe more compression in the jpeg.
Using Corel Photo Paint I could reduce the file size to 50% with little visual impact.

Hi All,

Sorry to have to announce that my grabber is inoperative at the moment.

It seems that I have regularly exceeded the daily quota set by the  ISP/web site provider. I have been transparently placed in  "restricted service" which is only allowing about 5  uploads/downloads each day. I expect that it will take some time for  my average to come down sufficient to allow my regular uploads again.

Also I will have to make the upload file sizes smaller & less  regular so as to keep within this upload limit.

I will post a notice here when all is running normally again.
