Thanks for the help and suggestions. Making progress...
about 75% there. Now 100% working.
The benefit of drafting a reply and help post is when, before posting, you double check each item again and sometimes find mistakes made. After doing this I have it working with both Cumulus and WL. A big cheer from me

Thank you for your assistance, persistence, and patience.
Enjoying,
Paul
