<DIV>Dan,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Well, can you see the big broad grin on my face... ;-)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I went and got your latest beta - b3, did the usual routine, and.....it works!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That screen coming up is the prettiest thing I ever did see!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then, to really get daring...I had picked up a USB <-> Serial dongle tonight - an IOGear brand one. Plugged it in...went into the configuration page on dRats...set data to the /dev/TTYUSB0....set baud rate to 38400 (for the IC-92AD)...saved it...and...I was able to send a message to our D-Star repeater echo node, and the message transmitted and came back properly! That was the acid test.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As far as geocode functionality....don't need it at the present.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I want to thank you for all your patience and support...you're super! In return, I will try to get my experiences up on the Wiki in the next couple of days so others can share the benefits. I already registered earlier today to be able to edit the Wiki. Just one question....do you want me to put it in the install page, under the Linux section? I am not a very experienced Wiki contributor, so if it comes out looking a bit odd, feel free to change it...no sensitive feelings here.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Again...thanks for your help!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>73,</DIV>
