Well, I have got mine today .... and it looks like I am posting the first problem request .....
I have inserted my set up CD into my Windows 7 Laptop, no wires attached etc ..... and that' s as far as it goes :( ... Absolutely nothing happening... The CD whirred a couple of times ... I have tried to Manually open the set up.exe ... but nothing .... Anyone else having any hassle ?

You could try downloading the Basestation set up files from the Kinetic web site - maybe you have a duff CD:

Will the Version 179 work with the Puck then ?
Downloaded the V179 from the website ... Now have this error message .... When I try and open up the Basestation
The procedure Entry point FT_EE Program could not be located in the dynamic link library ftd2xx.dll
Very grateful for any assistance.

Well I have given up for the evening ... I have re-installed V159 on to my laptop and it is working well with my SBS-1 ...
I would be very grateful for any tips etc about installing V179 and the error message above ...
Thanks again for looking and your advice folks,
Ian H
Giss a clue what is it SDR or tother
Its the 1090 Puck ... Not the SDR version
Ian Not sure why the CD is not working and sorry you have an issue
The error message you are posting indicates you have not extrated the downloaded 179CD
If you call me in the morning I will ftp the PUCK disc to you

Chris
Thanks Chris, I will bell you at lunchtime if that's OK ?
No problem I am there all day

Evening Folks,
Just a quick update.
With many thanks to Chris Taylor ... A phone call at lunchtime to Elstree and my Puck is all working well with Chris's very efficient help via Teamviewer ...
Seemingly, the disc wasn't writing to the location on my laptop as the previous Basestation was installed in a non default location ... That was subsequently shifted, the software loaded again and all is working well ... :) :)
My first impressions of the Puck ... Very lightweight and easily portable ... Seems to pick up aircraft that my SBS-1 on my PC wasn't ... and I like the red USB port which will be well handy plugging into the USB port in my car when I go mobile ... Only thing I need to get now is a nice little case from ebay to protect it when I am travelling abroad ...
I am pleased that I made the investment and well worth the wait !
Cheers and beers,
Ian H
Hi
New to the group today.
Rang Chris today and he was most helpful about the PUK, SBS etc.
Reading your remarks about picking up more than the your SBS 1 has decided me to order the PUK after Christmas.
Just in case Father Christmas brings me one.

Good afternoon ,
I purchased my new puck last week.
having tried to install it on my Dell Inspirion mini netbook having problems.
Firstly cannot download the software from the kinetic website.
Also having saved the disc to a memory stick it will not run either.
Could someone advise me please?
Many thanks in anticipation
Paul
The Puck should have shipped with a CD with the latest version of BaseStation.
Does your Dell have a CD player?
You can download the latest CD here http://www.kinetic.co.uk/DownloadFiles/Basestation_183/BaseStation-1-2-4-184-CDROM.zip
Unzip it and run
If you can not download it maybe try a different browser
Regards
Good evening , I have downloaded the cd rom file and it starts to download and a message comes up 'error' 1309.reading from file c\ users\appdata\local\\temp\temp1_basestation.The dell mini does not have a cd player so download only.

Do you get that message during the download process or afterwards?
Are you "saving" the Zip file to your Dell hard drive?
I have just tried to download the "BaseStation_184 CD" file using Chrome from the Kinetic website and the download failed to complete correctly on the first two attempts.
http://www.kinetic.co.uk/DownloadFiles/Basestation_183/BaseStation-1-2-4-184-CDROM.zip
On the third attempt it downloaded OK.
Make sure you see the correct file name in the download folder:
BaseStation-1-2-4-184-CDROM.zip
