In a relative newcomer to this intense of a crowd :-). But j also found that I'm not quite instrumented (yet) to tackle the accuracy problem. As such Im focusing where i can on what I know (power, systems, the like) while I accumulate the other gear.
As such I can say the thunderbolt and now the lte lite have been rock solid. On Friday, December 12, 2014, Anthony Roby <ar...@antamy.com> wrote: > I'm in the same beginners' category as you.
