[Elecraft] Windows Vista and some ham radio software

[Kenneth A. Christiansen]

My XP computer went bad back in July and I replaced it with a lap top 
that runs Vista Ultimate. Two of my favorite ham radio programs would 
not run properly. The ARRL feed line program TLW would not even give a 
screen. I got it working by using the compatability part of  Vista and 
specifying Windows XP. This week end MixW  would not warn about dupes 
during the contest. I found the compatability part of Vista would make 
it work properly by specifying Windows XP and I also needed to specify 
that I needed Administrator privileges for that program in the 
compatability set up. I hope this information can help others. I am 
waiting for my K3 and have my shack and camper all converted to Power 
Pole connectors and a new Alinco DM-330MV power supply. Does anyone know 
if or how it can be changed to work on 220V AC? My K3 order date is June 
16th so I am looking forward to lots of fun when I retire the first day 
of January 2008.
