While I have Win7 available on a laptop, it means I have to reboot.  I
much prefer Debian so Win7 is much neglected and well behind on updates.

That makes sense that I swerved into doing the correct step.   I did
find out that with FW 4.61 that tapping "1" as mentioned in the release
notes did nothing but change VFOs.  With 4.67 it does report that I have
revision "A" of the FPF.

Hopefully all versions of the utility will be sync'ed before this FW
goes into production status.  :-)
