Sorry. I stand corrected. I was relying on my rapidly failing memory
as to the DI-524 capabilities. Since it does do auto polarity, a
cross over cable is NOT required. However, the transposition of two
wires has a high probability of causing problems. Fix the wiring and
I think the problems will evaporate.

The GROL has replaced the FCC First:

You might want to add the radar endorsement:
<http://wireless.fcc.gov/commoperators/sre.html>
It's a lifetime license and roughly the same as the old 2nd class
license. I have mine framed and hanging over the doorway to my office
so that it will fall on any goobermint inspectors that wanna see my
assorted licenses.
