Doing the uninstall from the "network connection properties" did work
for the AR5007. I had previously tried a system restore but that didn't
work.
I had tried the original version of this program but that didn't work
at all with the AR5007 and I think you only got 15 minutes of time to
record the signal levels.
I had hoped that the USB devices would have worked so that I could see
if there was any variation in signal pattern when using these.
