Colin:
Thanks very much for this info. I may have a bit of time later today to
play around with the software, but as I said earlier, it really does seem
quite accessible.
Now, to my other question:
1. Once you have things as you want them, how do you save the data, and
then put it into the radio?
I know this question is elementary, but this is the first time I have done
this, so please bear with me.
Your patience is much appreciated.
