OK, thanks Rik and Roger.
I tried again following Rik's instructions and it installed without
problems. I need to brush up on my Italian. :-)
So far I cannot get EbNaut-rx to decode anything but I am probably
doing something wrong.
I'm a bit confused about what I should enter for frequency, since
one screen shot shows 137.520, the other 137.522.
I am getting a start offset number in the negative thousands of
seconds, not the 160.95 shown in the screen shot.
73,
Paul N1BUG
