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.
