Thanks for clarifying this, Ken. Was always curious as to why folks
would say this, yet the manual clearly shows separate supplies.

Mark, you did well despite not getting everything you expected. Still
sounds like the price was right for a nice piece of gear. The last
RAL-8 I saw that matched my RAK went for a whole lot more than I was
willing to spend.

I wonder if anyone would trade me the RAL/RAK control box for the TCS
remote box? Seems as though the likelihood of wanting or needed either
would be about the same?
