It should work fine, but if your intention is to prevent your radio related software from touching the C drive you are out of luck. Most of the programs out there will update the registry which is located on your C drive. Other than that issue you should be fine. If you were using a OS other than windows, this would not be a problem. -- Alex / AB2RC Running a Linux/Mac installation, where the only windows are in the walls where they belong
