Hey Scott, that's great.   Looks like you are in business.  Good luck, 
it's a great rig, you will love it.

When you get on the air, look for  some of us on the Blind Hams 
roundtable, Saturday 4 pm eastern, on or about 7.190.  Also on the 
Sunday Blind Hams net Sunday afternoon 4 pm eastern 14.258.
