My experience, as I'm sure with many other people, with my freerunner has been frustrating most of the time. To say, its all on the user is wrong. Granted the community could be better, however, its hard to contribute when everything is so fragmented. For instance, about the echo problem, one of

If there's nothing YOU can do with the freerunner then it's just a worthless paperweight - wanna sell it for $10? I might go to $20 if you insist, it really is a pretty paperweight. I'm sick of people whining like this. If you have a specific issue, raise it, if you have a fix, post it. If you
