	Jamie, 

	Have you given up on your Uni_Trac 2000, which does both antenna 
steering and Doppler tuning? 

	Perhaps you are not aware that the Uni_Trac 2003 software will control 
your Uni_Trac 2000 hardware box, via an included software switch. 
Download the (free of charge) Uni_Trac 2003 programme and the latest 
(free) upgrades.  

	Basically the Uni_Trac 2000 hardware box is now the parallel port 
interface to your computer and the Uni_Trac 2003 hardware box is the 
SERIAL and/or USB port interface. NOVA still interfaces 100% with 
Uni_Trac. The Uni_Trac 2003 software will run both hardware boxes. You 
select which box you have with Uni_Trac's software switch.
