I don't think that "dummy" as I find it defined on the WEB applies to
Bob or you:

referred to simply as "the Bristol sound". ...

and Bob,
I don't think "STUPID" as I find it applies to you:
Definitions of *"stupid"* on the Web:
* lacking or marked by lack of intellectual acuity
* dazed: in a state of mental numbness especially as resulting from
shock; "he had a dazed expression on his face"; "lay
semiconscious, stunned (or stupefied) by the blow"; "was stupid
from fatigue"
* a person who is not very bright; "The economy, stupid!"
* unintelligent: lacking intelligence; "a dull job with lazy and
unintelligent co-workers"

* Stupidity is the quality or condition of being stupid, or lacking
intelligence. This quality can be attributed to both an individual
himself (John Smith is stupid) or his actions, words or beliefs
(John Smith's policies are stupid). The determination of who is
stupid is difficult, despite attempts to measure intelligence (and
thus stupidity) such as IQ tests.

* Stupid is a punk rock quartet based in Brooklyn, New York. Stupid
is unusual in that it is fronted with an accordion. The band
members are Dana Ehrlich (vocals, accordion, maracas, keyboard),
Byrd (bass, guitar, vocals), Matthew Bixby (guitar, bass, vocals)
and Benjamin Hoyumpa (drums). Stupid currently has one EP and one
self-titled album released, though the EP is now rather hard to
come by. In early 2004, the band was involved in a car accident in
New Jersey. ...

Don't sweat the small stuff, guys. I am glad the 'small mistake' was
found and fixed. SDR-1000 is still the best radio in town. I can hear
stuff that I never heard before I got the SDR. Now if I only had an
antenna that is a few dB better than my "Dummy" load, perhaps I could
also be heard.
