Thanks for your replies.
For a while I was wondering whether i was the only one who felt isolated and alone with the weatronic system - it seems the sentiment is shared by others.

Harry - i feel exactly the same way about the combination of the mpx profi 4000 + wea module: it is the "king" of radios. Not wanting to start a "best radio war" but personally I feel a little sorry for the users of japanese radios that haven't experienced the flexibility and logic of this radio's programming!

Rumour has it the new profi '5000" might not be as flexible as the 4000.

And i also agree - the wea system is working flawlessly at the moment for me (and probably will do so indefinitely. )
But i feel uneasy about buying more receivers and accessories in the future - the trouble with 2.4 is it locks you in to a brand.
