    vs ultra lite?

    I have a vs ultra lite I was using back in the N2 days. When switch came along had a weather forcaster hooked up and was working ok but wf went down and I haven't used vs or any fta for a while. Can I still use vs ultra lite with anything now days or should I just invest in new box?

    your viewsat will work. It would take the Goo method to get it to work.

    XX-Client Release v2.2

    XX-Client_2.2.87.561

    ================================================== ====
    Receivers reported as working with XX-Client
    ================================================== ====
    Viewsat Ultra - SSSP Firmware (receiver_protocol=3, baud=115200)
    Viewsat Ultra - WF (receiver_protocol=1, baud=19200)

    Coosat 6000 (receiver_protocol=3, baud=115200)
    Coosat 5000 (receiver_protocol=3, baud=115200)
    Coosat 4000 (receiver_protocol=3, baud=115200)

    That Goo ware will take you to things you may not have seen before. And it may become confusing.
    Not the easiest of setups if not familiar with that type of setup, but she works

    An HD fta receiver should be in your future thou. T^he Viewsat is great receiver but there are easier and better receivers out there now (HD I am referring to).

    as has been mentioned, xx-client can be confusing if unfamiliar, but you should still have everything you need to try it, simply download the files, and connect your receiver to your pc using the serial port. give it a try, and maybe it'll work for you...if not, you can still spend money and buy a new box.
    If at first you don't succeed....hit it with a bigger hammer.
