Some of the applications on the CD have 16-bit wrappers - meaning they won't run under Win7x64. If you have Win7x32, it is fine. So it depends on which flavor of Win7 you have. The alternative for x64 is to use the XP-MODE virtual machine capability built into the pro versions of Win7.

Right on Mike, About two or three years ago there was a distinct deterioration of operational courtesy on what had been known as the Gentleman's Band. This was noted by an number of posts to this reflector. Again, there was an obvious explanation, although I don't recall it being mentioned.

Anyone else found a lowering of resistance after heat shrinking terminations after cool down? 73 Bruce-K1FZ You may have some of that somewhat conductive heat shrink tubing. Good idea to check the glue for conductivity before use. www.qsl.net/k1fz/beveragenotes.html
