I¡¯m only 67,? I¡¯ve had two careers in my life ¨C 20 years a soldier, and 26 years in the power industry.? As a combat veteran I was retired with 35% disability.? I consider myself fortunate in that all pieces are still attached and mostly operational.? My first Plt Sgt was a grizzled old Cigar-Chomping experienced leader. ?He truly took the piece of kid that I was when I ran away from home and straightened me out.? And one day when I mentioned that for an old man he really held his own, he told me:
¡°People don¡¯t stop doing things because they get old¡.. people get old because they stop doing things¡±.??
He and I crossed paths in the service a few times, then one day I found him drinking coffee at the Fort Bliss PX where I had just retired.? For about 23 years I¡¯d meet him there for coffee any chance I had.? Sadly, he died of cancer, supposedly caused by his agent orange exposure in Viet Nam.
My advice to you, the couch and the TV are not your friends!? I do SOTA, I do POTA, just did Winter Field Day, and I really get some exercise with this radio.

An EXIT is really an ENTRANCE to someplace new.??
It isn¡¯t an ADVENTURE until something goes wrong!

Understand Karl. It's totally up to you. Enjoy your setup.
I'm just a couple of years behind you. We definitely need to make the best of the remaining years the Lord gives us.

RS-918, a mcHF clone that uses a mimic in 1.4.23 and is supported in hamlib in 1.4.23.19 and on. The newer versions of fldigi may work but the freq display is some huge number other than what is in the radio.
Frankly, at this point having had the same problem with .19 two or three times and the same freq display prblem with .21 or .23, I am not at all enthused with loading up another version of the excellent fldigi and spending the better part of the day fiddling with windows puzzles. I appreciate the recommendation but 1.4.23 works fine when I want to play weak signal. There are other things I want to explore in ham radio before...well, you know...I am 82 and we are only to expect 70...?
