Dear Geoff,
I had already a Download directory, so that was easy. Configure worked 
without problems, so it seems that I had all devels.

What I do not yet understand, a # was for me always a remming out, a comment 
line. Is that here different? I thought it was a good idea to remove the # in 
front of the BGHN carrier but tha gave an error 2 and the compilation stopped.
So I just changed the kHz figuresand I could not find any difference. The 
sound is still at the same place as before, even as I changed them to 
extremes.

Is it perhaps necesarry to remove the former compiled results or are they 
every time overwritten. I saw that the second and following "make" was very 
fast ready. Or is that normal.

A further question, shoulld I have inserted anything in the following part of 
the file frequencies? Somewhere in the final result several choices can be 
made. Fourteen if I remeber right. Could I get Indonesia as one of the 
choices?

Thanks for your help. A first is always scarry ;-)
