Great...I wasn't sure if they had progressed that far or not at the time.
The P2 is a wonderful rig. The only thing you need to watch out for is not
letting your supply voltage slip down much below 13V. If it does, all kinds
of strange things begin to happen.
If I could find a good P2, I think I would buy it right now. Anyone got one?
