Hmmm, I might have missed this message :-) Anyway a few months ago I retried it and had same problem. BUT: the other receiver I have, has a serial-to-usb converter in it. So it is an USB device but maybe a special one? Anyway: it has exact the same problem. It is possible that maybe they're just broken both. As you may deduct from my replying-delay, it has no great priority for me.
