Hello Steve.

Thank you very much for your help. I have nearly mastered most of the
features of this rig but have some things yet to learn. I'm a bit surprised
at the rather short battery life I experienced for the first time but,
perhaps, I had not charged the battery sufficiently the first time, 6-1/2
hours.

Hello to Martia. Again, my thanks.

Jerry
