[Premium-Rx] How do you use it?

[Steve Stutman]

Hi,

I used to carry my RF-590 around to chic boites 'n bars in Baltic harbor 
towns to impress the local women and other intelligentsia. When this got 
boring, I parked it next to some other test gear in my yurt to wow 
visitors from NIH or the crew from the local road-racing garage; 
whichever came first.

73,
Steve
