Duly noted - Telemetry DIY is now enroute (slow boat etc) ... so step 3 now deleted from the plan

The er9x software is more complex but also more intuitive than the original software, so I'd recommend upgrading as soon as you want to program more than one switch, saving yourself the headache of learning the original which can only ever program two switches anyway.
Looks like there is a lengthy delay on these boards at the moment and demand is growing daily
... a good problem for the supplier i guess. Thanks everyone for your comments & thoughts.
