Please post your findings from Radio South as I am interested in their comments on this.

Status: offline 		You're right Carrell, I thought I saw it there before. I still recommend a phone call before shipping to make sure.

Edit note: He's probably done something by now. He made the post in January and hasn't logged on since any of our replies.
