Gary,

Too bad that you also got caught in the XM-240 manual debacle.   I believe
that
the "correct quick responce" would be to correct the manuals and not keep
adding to
the confusion.  This is a well known problem that has persisted for over a
year.
Luckily just before putting mine up, WE9V ran into the same problem, and had
his
own dimensions that he shared here on TT, saving alot of us all time and
headaches.
