I also tried 3.103 from the sid repository and I get the following error: Invalid freq '138650000'. Current freq out of range? I can get it to start if I use the "-s" option but still, nothing plays. Moreover, if I give it a specific frequency, it does not start at that frequency. Could the problem be that my device does not have version 7 of the firmware? Google has not been helpful regarding how this can be upgraded. Thanks, Ted
