Michael,

I just wondered how this all turned out for you. My system has worked very well and I see almost every sat I try for, so you should get the same
results. Please let me know either way, and if you're still not getting good results I'm sure I can help. You can call me if you want to:
(562)594-8821 on the weekend or after 7:00.

Brad
