Thanks John:
I am on the 920 group, but they really have not been a
whole lot of help with this issue. It seems they may not
know much, I was hoping one of you guys had experienced it
before. I can't find a pdf service manual anywhere either.
Oh well onward and upward.
73 fer nw,

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
