Yeah it was up and running the day after FedEx managed to find my house. 
Setup was easy, just connect the PTT, coax, and RF ground and its on the 
air. I've used it both with the Flex radio and the FT950. I need to work 
on the RF ground a bit, running up near full power on 15m the antenna 
switch control box LED's show a little light on voice peaks (have to 
have all the lights off to notice it) and 1 of my sets of headphones 
sounds like it might be getting a little RF (my hearing isn't so great 
so that may be more in my head than the radio) just enough floating 
around that I want to address it. On 80M it gets a little cranky with my 
antenna SWR near the top of the band, I'm pretty sure that's due to the 
angle of the two wires being a lot closer than desired. If the mud pit 
in the yard dries up a bit I'll move the one end to a different tree and 
see what happens. So far the auto-tune feature is really nice, takes 
about 3 sec to tune up on a band change, don't notice it making 
adjustments as I move up and down a given band but watching the software 
you can see the numbers on the caps changing little bits at a time. 
Unrelated to this change my 2nd 12V supply died the other day, was ok1 
minute the next no DC out. I've gotten as far as sitting it on the 
workbench but then other events conspired to take up my vacation.
