[MilCom] MARS ALE

[Robert Wilczynski]

Daryll,

Thank you.  I have set it up as suggested but while scanning the 
software pauses after just about each frequency.  Using older versions 
of PC ALE the receiver does not pause unless an ALE signal is received.  
This pausing after each frequency is what I am trying to stop.  I would 
like to see it scan without pausing unless an ALE signal is found.

Sincerely,

Bob
