Thanks Dan,<br>
<br>
Will let you know after it's posted. Used an older version of Chirp to program and read my D7A(g). The old KW software is long in tooth and won't run under WINE in Linux. Runs but won't communicate over the serial link.<br>
Something is blasted in the old Windows program.<br>
<br>
As an aside, I was able to get WINE to run MCP4A for the D72 albeit takes a heck of a lot of work to install the NetFramework and lift the MCP4a directory and executables off of a Windows machine. Rig has to be on ttyUSB0 and it's slow but works. I like Chirp a heck of a lot better for simple programming for the D72.<br>
<br>
If anyone is interested, here is the instruction file.<br>

Yeah, it's for a rocket motor simulation program (I do that too) but<br>
getting WINE to run in that fashion allowed other programs to work too.<br>
The old KW programmers for the D7 and the F6A won't work under emulation.:-(<br>
<br>
<br>
Be aware that any version above WINE 1.3.14 won't install the net framework. It fails at NetFramework v2.0. I use 1.3.13 on a Slack<br>
13.1 machine. In Slack 13.37 there are no Samyak-Malayam fonts so one doesn't have to worry about that issue in the instructions I wrote.<br>
<br>
Get it installed like I show and the last version of FT-817 Commander will<br>
run on a Linux box. HRD won't run.<br>
<br>
Oh, I'm not a programmer but wished I was or had the time to learn some rudimentary stuff. Solved this problem by brute force.:-)<br>
