Seriously John, I think you may have had a 570 prior to the 2000. I had
upgraded from a 430, so it was like going from a skateboard to a Corvette.
I didn't know what the rig was supposed to do, much less how to do it. I
found the manual intimidating and got myself jammed up a few times early on
that nothing short of divine intervention or reset would cure
Live and learn.
73, Steve KW3A.
