Hope we can help you on this. Have you looked at Les's web site for his 
description on how to set it up. I'm sure Mike (PI) would drive over and 
help you if you still are having problems, since you can be of great help in 
monitoring his signal .... particularly when something happens to make it 
seem that something is wrong with his antenna. Like yesterday!!

Maybe you can re-sell it for even more than that, now that Mike is coming up 
with some software changes!

Keep in touch!

Bill

PS: Does K2JJD have a digital setup on receive such as ARGO? Even as close 
as 40 miles, it's not that easy to find/copy a 1W Lowfer CW signal with 30 
second dots and 90 second dashes just by ear.
