RE: DL4 modification...



Greg,

thank you for your time and input on this.  i, for one, was a bit 
suspicious of your DL4 mod, especially since you were so modest about 
your electrical engineering skills!  :)

however, this breakout box sounds very interesting, and piques my 
interest in your original DL4 mod, as well.

please let us know what you did!  pics and overbearing detail 
appreciated...
