Many thanks Felix - rather as I feared I'm afraid about different,
nono-standard conversion methods. I'll hae a poke about for the hex
values. I may consider moving to WPA although am aware I'll need to
change the security on my other devices with possible unknown
consequences. My worry is I could go through the pain of doing it and
then find I still can't connect to the SB radio although I seem to
remember doing this in the UK and it was more straightforward - is that
correct?
Many thanks
Steve
