Mat, it sounds as you have gotten most of the learning you can get from that 
you mentioned in your post,  now you will find you will have to use the rig 
to gain much more.  Surprising a person can own and use a rig for many 
months and find out things you did not know before.  Good luck my friend.

Yes, I have the manuals and a tutorial done by some guy with a 3 or 4
call who did five lectures.  Pretty good, but I need to learn my way
around the radio.  Any tips?--Matt.
