[1000mp] Couple of Quadra Questions

[Scott Millick]

My 2nd one works great  The first one I sent back and they replaced did 
not  I use it on 6 now  It started to smell when I tried to use the AT  The 
new one u push the tune button and it tunes it fine   If it is nmore than 3 
to 1 it will not do it however   Use all the cables they furnish and on the 
MP remember that the 9 pin cable has to be changed per the manual
