[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 994316, member: 176704"] Chris Thanks - done that, and actually getting some signals showing up with a little antenna stuck on top of the TM Rx sat right next to the PC! :) Anyway, going back to relative basics, the instructions for installing the Mlat Client end by saying that you should create a desktop shortcut and then copy the "instruction" to the Window Start Up folder (haven't done that yet but I will when everything else seems sorted), and so I assume I need to do the same thing with the Dump1090 shortcut so that both applications start up when the machine boots? What about the Virtual Radar Server - same thing? Also, I think I have a problem with the dongle sticking horizontally out of the PC (which is a vertical format unit and so the USB sockets are "vertical" rather than "horizontal") - the weight, especially when the coax cable from the antennas is connected, seems to be partially disengaging it from the USB socket, and so I think I will have mount it separately with a connecting USB lead.
