Hi Richard, don't have a direct answer to your question, but congrats on the 
ft817ND, I've had several, and am more than willing to share possible work 
arounds and solutions. I live in GA,/Eastern Daylight/or standard time zone, 
and if you wish, we can talk by phone.  Email me off list, and we can go 
from there.  Sincerely, Danny Dyer, Wb4idu.
