Thank you. Tried that as well, still throws up a string of letters and numbers. But the frequency this time seemed a bit more consistent, so the trick is to apply some sort of frequency analysis, I guess. Still on it. BTW, are there any mor

Thank you, just landed safely. Glad that this flight of mine won't be part of Boeing's fat book of hull loss statistics.
