- I can't be absolutely sure, since I haven't verified it myself.
- However, the Sportster documentation is quite clear, and a "reliable
- source" informs me that the Sportster uses the same logic that the
- Courier does. My guess is that USR is trying hard to suggest a reason
- for the large price difference between the Sportster and the Courier.
- In any event I have been very happy with the performance of the
- Sportster.

- Best regards,
