Skipp- Nice saying, I may use it in the future!!
You are right, no one ever called me or anyone a "dumb tech" in this exchange. I was only heading off the obvious thoughts of ONE person who (several weeks ago) claimed he could make the Spectrum gear run correctly when the rest of us said it was not a good idea. I think you will find that most of us ARE "honestly" trying to help Kevin out by recommending he find a different piece of equipment rather than put time & effort into a Spectrum. A Mastr Pro, Mastr II, Mitrek, or Micor can usually be found cheap (or free if you look hard enough).
