Well... shoot, Jerry. Now I AM confused. I spoke with Paul
Hrivnak and company at Dayton last Friday and that is what they
told me to do... but now you are giving me somewhat different
instructions. So... now I all conflicted...
Is this reason to get a beer?
Is there some way to reconcile the two methods?
If so... is THAT reason to get a beer?
Is it reason enough to get the TT tuner instead of the Palstar? or to
justify getting the Palstar auto tuner (which I think I want) because it
may work more like the TT tuner, and also be automatic for "just" a few
hundred more?
