At the time I did recall that your kind of problem would occur if one of the
menu items was not set correct. If I had responded to you Kevin, what I should
have done is check the manual myself to make sure what I was suggesting was
correct, however my comment was not directed to you and I did not send any
email to you. My response was to someone who was thinking about buying an Omni
6+ but had a concern about your problem and I was mainly trying to assure him
that most Omni's direct from the factory do work well.
> I did post your unsolicited email to me because I would hope that most
users of this reflector do not post responses like that. However I assure
you I
have had the same frustrations that you are going through now, and I have
typed
angry responses when I should have cooled off first, but fortunately my senses
returned before I hit the SEND button.
> In any event I think it's quite big of you to post your apology. I
certainly hope you can find the fix to the problem and you find it works well
for you. In the future when I do reply to someone directly I'm going to be
more
careful in my choice of words and/or suggestions.
