Dan,

Well, for some reason, I can't get the utility to work for me. I
installed it, set up a virtual come port. It sees my Deluo NEMA
compliant GPS, but when I set the SA 2006 to a virtual port, no
worky-worky. Same with S&T, it doesn't work. I uninstalled and
reinstalled the utility.. H'mm.. Any hints what might be happening?
