The decision was made to purchase a new desktop for my bench and with that a new activation code and I'll download the latest version of the software when I get the new computer set up. I am also having trouble getting a used oscilloscope we bought to network with the current desktop as well so that computer will be scrapped. That means I'll wipe it clean, load Linux, and put it on my ham shack bench ....

...I just love it when a good thing comes of a bad situation.
In the mean time I am training myself using the ASA course text book that was with the 2800 when we bought it, and learning how this incredible tool works.
