Don, While that will work on Vista, it won't necessarily work out of the box on Win7, as XP compatibility mode doesn't exist in Windows 7 Home Premium; you have to have Win7 Professional and download the compatibility files from Microsoft's website.

If you are trying to run it on Vista or Win7, I think I know why it fails for you - it keeps the .dll files in its own directory, and my understanding of Vista and Win7 is that is "highly discouraged" by the OS. Try running in XP compatibility mode to see if that helps. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/4/2011 2:18 PM, Don Sandstrom wrote: > I need some help on the KRC2 I just built for use with my K3.
