Just curious here,how good is the last repeater O.S.? did it adress most of the problems people were having?Is there something still buggy on the new O.S. or uncomplete? i remeber Zoe did a partial review on it but still had to explore some of the other O.S. functions,i sold mine at the time because they announced a new upcoming one with upgraded hardware components and i was really hoping of getting one,i do miss it sometimes, Electrix was cool!
