Doug, you should note that whenever I turn on the FDO scope, I turn the
slew rate down to 3! Even at full speed, though, the motors don't have the
coffee-grinder sound of the smaller models. I'd wondered what all the
fuss was about until someone brought an 8" LX200 down and I heard one for
the first time.
