I was up in NY today so I am now getting around to reporting what I did.

The problem is the receiver, and the receivers now available do not communicate with the KVH, so I located a company in Cocoa Beach FL that sells used receivers. The system is five years old and the antenna works for now.

I bought a receiver and because the electronics are developing so fast I am going to nurse the current system in the hopes that the next time it pukes the available systems will be more reliable and have other benefits.

Thanks for your replies.
