I see both the yahoogroups and zerobeat lists are listed on this thread, but I'll reply with both anyway. (I personally don't feel cross-posting to both lists is a wise idea, better then to stick with just one list, why have two ?)
Another reason to not have the AC-3/4 in the MS-4 - my shack is out in the garage, and every spring the little birdies insist on trying to build nests in the garage despite the fact the door is closed during the night. Well, I luckily noticed the little birdies had thoroughly stuffed a nest in the back of my MS-4, and had I not noticed it, a fire would have been probable had I turned it on.
