It has full support for the Kansas City tracker/tuner , wtc, wtc. Windows PB and PG can be purchased from AMSAT direct for $40.00 @ 301-589-6062. All proceeds go to the Phase3D program. Hope this helps. Mun-Kong Lee mklee@actrix.gen.nz Raumati Beach New Zealand ------------------------------ End of Ham-Space Digest V94 #236 ******************************
