Thank you for your response.

Looks like I can down load 1.21.10.9, after download and Extraction I have the message Extraction completed successfully but the header still has 1.19..9.6.

I do have access to the KAT, so will leave it at that for now, too much time waisted.

Thank you again and to all those that responded
