Chet,
all your details gratefully acknowledged.
Especially, thanks for the detailed example for
configuring.

The primary antenna of each card is connected to
an antenna that has been tested recently.

>great range on 5.5 db rubber duckies.

I wasn't sure I would ever need one, but
I was testing at a friend's house and found luckily
I had one of these in my laptop bag, saved the day.

> oh what happens if you try 1 card at a time?

Great question, that should have been a no-brainer.

Still hoping to be able to use the gui eventually.
Thanks
Seth
