I'm sorry nobody answered this for ya. You and I know you were hoping for a miracle cure but we also both know it's time to send that bad boy in.

I am sorry for your loss.

I think you are correct Harold. Its the "off season" here anyway, so might just as well.

Why two meters, as opposed to measuring individually with one meter? I ask, because I tried measuring the current with my Fluke (I just stuck the probes into the wires). The numbers it showed didn't make sense to me at the time (remember, I was on a 10 day drinking binge....).

I haven't really seen anyone post about sending a unit back to Hyperion for service before. Wonder how it generally turns out time wise and cost?
