Jay, you are giving me beautiful dogbones this morning on the laptop 
computer with plenty of separation between code characters. Funny how a 
little 13 Hz offset could make that much difference! <GGGG>.   This problem 
has been solved!

I'm still seeing a lot more action on the signal strength indicator at the 
left side of the screen compared to the other computer but this must be 
normal with this computer. I actually like this and possibly it's related to 
the faster speed of the laptop.

Thanks to all respondents (John too).
