Since these receivers are very much alike we have named these four. This thread will be locked but a "How to" replies thread will be opened so that when we find a how to do something with our receivers it can be added. Now with general help topics also, we don't want to duplicate BFG's Help topics but find new hints or point the way to threads with new info. Replies Thread Here
