Thanks all for the friendly welcome! Really glad I found you guys. As I indicated up front my amp is down (makes me sad) and I'm very stoked on getting it in line to be fixed and upgraded, so any available mod team members out there let me know please.
I'll work on posting some pics in a later post.
Aslan7, no I am not a boom operator, but I do work for the AF E-4B program, and can appreciate the skills those guys and gals bring to the table.
Again, thanks everyone!
