Use that credit line and make it happen.

A bit off topic but I listened to a pair of speakers today that were $199,000 for the pair. Almost forget, you needed (4) 5,000 watt amplifiers to power them. Each amp was 40k.

If they can make that kinda setup for auto aligning on a car, MAKE ONE FOR HOME! That way we all can quit getting these damn incompetent installers coming out and just hit a button to let it align itself!

Hoping to meet Tom but it looks like Earl is already on his way back to Chicagoland.

I would LOVE to see a mobile forum here. I am an avid RV'er so this sort of thing is my bag, baby.

Now where can I mount that on my bike?????

Serious question: What LNB assembly is it using (Cal Amp, FNC, other)?
