Hi Skip, Thanks for your quick response. I would have to say it's in the neighborhood of 500-600 hams that I've had it train on. It has 90/15 for thresholds. I never changed the thresholds, nor have I played around with those numbers. I just didn't know know enough to have any idea what to change them to. Do you recommend some other settings? I would definitely be willing to change those for better results, however, as of late I have been seeing improvement.
