[Pro2006] Opto Boards

Sun, 22 Sep 2002 18:24:33 -0700

My two cents,
At this late date, wouldn't it be prudent to wait a couple of months and go 
for the BC785D at also about $340.00 even if a digital system is not in 
your area. Add the digital card later.
I also have a couple of Pro2006/Opto456 that I will find a use for rather 
than get rid of them.
