Hi Roy.

I am wondering if there is anyone out there who could help me get my wxsat working again. I only use it to download the weather pictures from 13920 Mhz and 7535Mhz as I don’t have a 137hz antenna. It all worked OK until I had to get a new computer but now although the audio sound comes through the picture is not recorded. Telephone here is 08 9274 1928. Regards, Rod.
