I believe the developer is a SK. Jim N7US -Original Message- I will submit that if this is required by ANY software, that it isn't packaged correctly. An elevated installer should be used and installing as admin is generally a really bad idea. There are a few exceptions only. Install normally, K3_EZ will install correctly.

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report
Good Evening, I searched up and down on the forty meter band to find an unoccupied frequency. From 7030 to 7070 kHz there was a swath of RTTY folks tweedeling away. Oh well, the band sounded good though which bodes well for the future. On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z: W0CZ - Ken - ND AB9V - Mike - IN K6XK - Roy - IA K4JPN - Steve - GA Twenty meters was very quiet today with mild and slow QSB. Everyone I could hear was good copy even if the signals dropped below S0. Forty meters also sounded good filled with RTTY signals of various strength levels. There was a little storm noise there too. Tomorrow the falling trees will awaken me a little after dawn. This logging company falls trees the old fashioned way: with saws so they use natural light. Larger companies have a variety of large falling equipment which have lots of lights attached. They start work two to three hours before dawn to take advantage of the moisture. I'm glad these guys let me sleep late :) Until next week 73, Kevin.
