Gotcha! You are correct. maybe the independences that were discussed with 5.x will take care of that problem. It would be nice to bring up just the satellite portion only. I have been so use to using WISP32 since my SATGATE days that I use it most of the time except on my newer radios. HRD indeed is very good and looks even more promising for the future. I have downloaded the 5.x beta version but have yet to install it to see how it does.

Hey Reid,
Thanks for your note. Using the same package here - V 4.1, Build 1985.
And yes, you can access Satellite Tracker without connecting radios to it - but you can't connect radios to it without ALSO connecting them to HRD. Therein could lie the problem.
DM780 is useable without connecting radios to HRD. I routinely do that when I'm working digital modes in HF.
My only interest in computer connection for Satellite Tracker is Doppler control. I would like to be able to connect directly to it and use it as a "stand-alone" without HRD involved. I believe that could/would solve the issues I experience here.
