Re: some fcb1010 & repeater programming questions



Greg,
I have this same frustrations with the FCB1010 the
great thing about it is that behringer does o.s.
upgrades for it, but you need to mail them and tell
them, if they get enough requests they will work on
the features.
so mail them mail them!
cheers
