gonk is great...this forum is great...Outlaw Service is great...I had a catastrophic failure with my 7100...lost a channel...sent it off and had it back in less time than they quoted looking like I had just bought it (and I take care of my stuff but was it CLEAN!)and working just fine since...Merry Christmas and I hope you get to the root of your problem...sounds like you are almost there.
