Yes I have tunelab trial.  I haven't used it to tune a piano yet. Just =
fooled around with it.  Don't tune much you know.

At my suggestion, Robert Scott included in the latest download a feature =
that measures sustain.  I haven't yet fully evaluated
this feature, but since the mike channel on the ipac has agc or avc, I =
can't see that it would be accurate enough to evaluate the improvement =
of, say springs under the soundboard.  It may be of value to generally =
evaluate sustain in various positions of the keyboard, however.  I would =
like to see an absolute measurement of sustain that I could use to track =
what I try to do to improve the sustain of the so called killer octave.  =
Oh, well, keeps my braincells from colliding.  So many questions, so few =
answers.  Damm!

  David, my AC/adapter weighs in at just under 120 grams.  I have a 3765 =
ipac that I still haven't used much.  A friend bought a charger for his =
for about 30 dollars if I remember right.

  Being cheap, I went to a surplus store and found one for $7.95.

  The charger that comes with the unit puts out 5 volts at up to 2 amps. =
 The one I found puts out 5 volts at 1.6 amps.  That's enough.  It might =
take longer to fully charge if the batt was really low.

  It can plug into anything from 100 volts to 240 volts.

  You need to make sure the plug is the right polarity.  The one I found =
is  Backpack bantam model AUA-05-1600.  I'm going to keep my eyes open =
for any more I can find.

    Sounds to me like the extra stuff you carry would take up the space =
of a conventional ETD...those AC/adapters are not light...
    I love the idea of all my records and ETD on one device...I'm going =
to wait bit though

    The most important thing to remember when it comes to battery, is =
take the time to turn the backlight OFF whenever possible. I tune up to =
5 pianos with this setting. I carry an extra charger/AC adapter and a 6' =
extension cord in my tuning kit at all times and I also bought the car =
lighter adapter. So far, I've never been caught out of juice with the =
iPaq. For me, the light weight and size alone makes it the ETD of =
choice.

        Can you use the iPac while the charger is plugged in or do you =
have to=20
        disconnect the charger prior to use?=20



      Yes, you can.  I do it all the time.  Sometimes it's hard to find =
a convenient outlet for the charger, but not usually.=20
