Nice signal tonight Bob. I'm getting decodes but Opera v1.4.9 has acted 
up here on my Windows 7, 64 bit machine. Even though I've always had the 
alarm switch OFF I got a warning window stating that some needed audio 
file wasn't found. I pointed the program to a place where I had a .wav 
file, but that didn't help - my VU meter was and still is nearly pegged. 
Fortunately this doesn't seem to impact decodes and reporting to 
http://pskreporter.info/pskmap.html.

Can't seem to uninstall this program. I did move the zip file to another 
folder and install there but still have the problem. It's caused by the 
program failing to recognize my soundcard and instead offering a virtual 
audio channel as the sole output choice. Even tried to run it inside a 
virtual XP machine - that failed too. Maybe if v1.4.10 comes along it 
will work on the new computer (64 bit). No problem running v1.4.9 on my 
older XP machines (32 bit).

I just love how repeatable Windows operating systems are (NOT!).
