Thanks a MILLION, Tom. I did as you said and created a directory under c:\Program Files\Hrit Radio called "\rev4" and copied the files std_Aerospace.ihx and std_2rxhb_2tx.rfb into it (I guess I could have moved them also). Everything fired up and and seemed to be working. I'll know when I connect the dish antenna later today (hopefully). Thanks again! (FYI...I added the above because it took me a moment to figure out what you meant so I figured I'd put it in painful detail.) Best regards, - Mike
