    Computer Frustration

    You could try a different USB port. Have you downloaded the drivers from westmountainradio? It just might be an issue with the RS232 USB adapter and Win 7

    Activity???

    There are some recordings at General Satellite Recordings If you go back to 2010 on the page you can find recordings from the other FM sats that are now inoperable, a lot of early morning passes might be quiet but most of the daylight passes were busy

    Activity???

    Samsung galaxy note 2

    I didn't like the otterbox defender cases and got a TPU case by diztronic.com, they offer some protection for the screen with about a 1/16 inch lip around the edge that will let you set it on a table without the screen touching. The defender series is great if you are very rough on your phones...

    Talk about A fool and his money

    I was suprised to see 22LR missing from the shelves at Wal Mart and Cabelas, the 223 ammo is not found there but Cabelas did have 9mm in 50 round boxes for $15 which isn't much more than a 50 round box of 17HMR
