I believe all what you said is true. BUT... the people that bought AFPdeluxe and paid going on $200 dollars should be able to buy a extra cable for there own use. I have another computer and I would like to have both set-up so when my grandsons come over we can use both. (need 2 cords) Another thing I would lke to know is if you can add a common plug in the cord a few inches from the jack that plugs into my TX. I do not want to ruin the connecting device in my TX. There may be contacts that in time will get wore out and when I go to fly at field this summer will cause a weak connection and boom...there goes my plane into the ground? How about this. Can this happen? Can a person leave the cords plugged in all the time? Which I do not want to do really. Again I love this product, and I want to keep my investment working. Thanks Capt,n
