[Lowfer] TIL Grabber back online...BIG Argo

I located the guy in the Netherlands that does the big screen Argo mod.
I looked all over his website but could not find it so I emailed him and he 
customized a copy with my name and call and sent it to me.
He told me he only does it now by request, that he took the generic version 
off of his website because some people have trouble with it.
I did have problems getting it to work so I set the program to run in 
Windows 95 compatability mode and it works great! (I had the same problem 
with the normal version of Argo also.)

I didn't ask but I'm sure he would build one and send it to you too just for 
the asking.

His name is Ko Versteeg
Contact info is on his website at http://www.xs4all.nl/~nl9222/

Also I'm working on a lowfer beacon transmitter. Who does the beacon 
frequency coordination or should I just pick my own frequency?
