Help with hallicrafetrs SX-24
Tony I0JX
I have downloaded many files from Nostalgia Air, in fact I tested this one before recommending it to see what it was like. When I clicked on the download symbol it came up labled as a .PDF as have all the others. I don't know what sort of executable there could be there. What browser are you using? Unfortunately, the manual at the other site is as bad as the one at BAMA, grayed out and low res. The Opera browser reports me it is downloading an EXE file, and actually produces an EXE file. Both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome instead report and produce a PDF file. Crazy! Thanks and 73 Tony I0JX |

Tony- I don't remember how I did it, but when I found I had downloaded an EXE file, I went back and found a different place to click. This time it downloaded a PDF file that opened correctly. At first I thought the EXE file might actually be a self-extracting ZIP file. But when I changed its suffix to .ZIP, my un-zip program said it was not. Then I changed the .EXE to .PDF, and it opened fine! Fred K4DII |
