Thanks, Steve. Good to know it's not just me. Let me know if you figure it out. I will do likewise.

Mark,

I also get the “E/A-Fehler 105.” error message when I add BY70-1 to a
satellite group in SatPC32.  Other people don’t have the problem.

The error message (in German) means I/O Error 105 in the Delphi
programming environment, which I believe is an error writing to a file.

What I can’t yet answer is how to fix the problem.  We may have a file
permissions problem.

Anybody have a solution or know where to look?

73, Steve N9IP
