Lynx PLC Replacement

[Thomas Arman]

Well, I have tried everything I could think of.

Even put the PLC on a PC and used Marrick's LynX Utility to vary every
parameter available.  No luck.

Maybe it is just MY PLC.  I will have to wait to see if someone else can =
get
theirs working with the XTB.

I have not tried this combo yet but was getting very close to doing it =
when
I saw this email from you. It seems to me to be an obvious way to extend =
the
range of the PLC.

I'll be watching the list with great interest for your resolution.
