[amsat-bb] KlaTrack [ Problem Saving Settings ]

[Hasan al-Basri]

Run As Administrator is NOT required for KLA tracker and in general should
be avoided as it is a security risk.

>From the KLA website:
The installation is simple. You need Java 1.8 or later installed. On
Windows put the program in any directory you like and just double click the
exe to run it. On Linux or Mac double click the KlaTrack bash script to
launch it. Ask me if you need help.

Run As Admin has been discussed at length on the WSJT-X and JTAlert
Lists....very bad idea.
