Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

I did happen to find a used XR1000 last year on Amazon for cheap. Something you can keep an eye on. Mine works great. I think I got mine for around $100 bucks. 😁
