[pianotech] Survey

[James Grebe]

Hi Wim,
You are the only IV owner who has responded. Now there is at least 2 of us 
who do not know how to use the extended memory to record tunings.  Now we 
are a group.  That is a step in the right direction.  I have asked Paul to 
start a IV user group so I will see what happens.
Thank,
James

One of the reasons I bought the IV is because the III was giving me some 
problems, like shorter battery life, weak display, and inaccurate 
information (the tunings just weren't good enough). Plus the case had taken 
a beating because I had the thing for over 10 years. So I asked Paul if he 
would take my III and my wife's II, which she no longer uses, in trade, and 
he said yes. It would have been cheaper to get my III fixed and 
re-calibrated, including shipping, but I figured, hey, what the heck, let's 
get the new model.

One of the main reason I wanted it was the extended memory. But so far I 
haven't learned how to use it. If you read my earlier post on this subject, 
I plan to take my lap top and IV to the convention this summer, and get a 
hands on, one on one session with Paul. What I do like better about the IV 
is the lit up display and the fact that the pre-programmed pages include the 
name and model of the pianos. What I am a little disappointed with is the 
low battery notification. On the III, when the low bat sign would come on, I 
had about 2 hours left, which allowed me to finish the tuning I was on, and 
even do a second tuning. But with the IV, I get about 10 minutes, and it 
shuts off.

Have you found it to be a significant improvement over the III?

I am using the IV, but not the extended memory.

Since no one wrote back about accessing the programming in extended memory 
in the SAT IV.

Who else is using the SAT IV on this list?
