Re: Repeater techology, (and last O.S.)

["L.A. Angulo" <labaloops@yahoo.com>]

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!
