[Elecraft] Wireless SNAFU

[H. Cary]

Thanks to all who were willing to share their knowledge - reasonably  
certain it's a router protocol issue and can be resolved readily.  And  
to David Gilbert, I'll be happy to help when you have a lawn mower  
problem.  Many thanks, this is a terrific group!
73,
Cary, K4TM
