Hi Ron, Gave this method of yours a go this morning. Very interesting process. I'm afraid, I have been spoiled beyond recognition with my ETDs' experience. I now live in that .5 cent or less, actually "way less". RCT currently allows measurement changes of .01 cent which I simply adore. Likened unto timing sports activities: tenths of seconds versus seconds hundreths of seconds versus tenths of seconds ad infinitum. Thank you for sharing, though. I do fully understand your way works well for you, and that's okay with me.

It'll be weird and awkward at first, but if you don't fairly quickly find that you can tune a unison as well as ever this way in significantly less time, go back to what you usually do. The thing is to actually give it a try instead of just looking down your nose at it, before writing it off. > > Looking forward to comparing this process to my current mode of operation.
