OK, I figured out my problem and I now have Winbox talking to the radio and reporting status.  I's not linking to anything since the antenna is still on the ground.  How much configuration can I do before mounting it on my roof.  The only question in my sight path may be some trees but I think I can aim just over them and get a signal.  My friend Bruce/WA7BAM will be helping with the antenna installation on Wed afternoon.  Making progress...
