[Chris-G0WTZ]

Craig can you ping me your email in a PM? I pride myself in speedy replies to emails so I am curious why you have not heard from me.
Did you get an auto response?

I did PM you Chris and you did indeed get back to me very quickly. So thank you. You did also say you would upload a video to youtube about the puck, so we will look forward to that.

A "first impressions" review would be really helpful to those of us undecided about shelling out the cash for a new Puck.

Hi Mike

It was well worth waiting for the 1090 Puck.

Loaded in the latest Basestation 1.2.4.183 software, changed Settings / Data Source to USB and plugged in supplied antenna.  Attached double ended USB plug to PC and the Puck and it worked a dream.

I also tried setting it up with a laptop and worked beautifully.  Puck, leads and antenna all light enough to carry around when on the move.

The puck also seems to work fine with a single ended USB plug as well.

Having an SBS21-er, I will use the puck for when I am on the move away from home with a laptop.

Will the 1.2.4.183 release be of any use with an SBS3, if so, is it available on line?

Will this work in line with basestation reporter (VER 1.0.0.28 )already installed as i have spent last year or so refining text,ops flags and other ammendments such a sub types etc? I have no intention of doing that again besides which my own bespoke sightings may not be included with new software files so feed back  on compatability with SBS1ER (VER 1.2.3.168) would be helpful.

[Anmer]

Reporter is only a user interface to the database file - Basestation.sqb.

I don't have a Puck but my guess is you could plug it in and use with your existing Basestation files, avoiding the need to install anything.

Or just copy your existing Basestation.sqb file to replace the empty one installed from the supplied CD.

[Chris-G0WTZ]

All you need for the PUCK is the new EXE file

By the way if you have reporter ver .28 it is the old one 29 is the latest so download the latest CD on the kinetic site and copy over the latest Reporter exe
