Bill,

I don't believe the O2 works the same way.  I was on the phone with Paul 
yesterday and after trying several things he determined that there was a 
problem, however, not sure whether it's the  302, the cable or the O2, 
so I sent the 302 and cable back to them and they will check it out.  If 
they are good then there is a problem with my O2.  Thanks for your 
assistance.

73,
Vin,k1rm
