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
