The only caviat you need to be aware of is that the PK88 SEEMS to need a L-O-N-G TXDELAY and at least a NOMINAL TXTAIL. About 30-35 on TXDELAY and 20 on TXTAIL, at least that is what is working for me. Also, all units that must talk to it need these parameters a little looser that with other units. Other than that, works fine and lasts a long time. ----------------------------------------------------------- Brian A.
