yep, especially when you say right, and the guy goes left, or you say 
straight, and he turns around and goes back...
and when he's all disoriented, he says he can't live without his hobby and 
wants to die...
I've seen the same instructions to do the same damn thing 10 times in this 
thread already, and he still isn't getting it right.
It has to be that both tuners, maybe even all 3,  are duds, because it 
certainly can't possibly be operator error.
