[BC] Monitoring IBUZ Secondaries - NOT

[Wayne]

Just a minute!!  Do you mean that it is impossible for human error to occur 
in a digital format?

I think the crux of Rich's discussion was that it happened with great 
repetition.

If I plunked down 200 bucks for a radio which, will not work in my car, or 
when I jog, or when I'm camping, and my first encounter with programming was 
more of the same, more of the same, more of the same.  I would either return 
it to the vendor, or give it to my first wife.  My mind would be made up and 
I would never try it again.  Course, that's just me.
