Hmm.....I cant understand how one could possibly have trouble programming them, Ive owned both and they are both super easy.
It's hard to get the quark into program mode.
Hard? All you do is hold the program button and turn the ESC on. As for basic and advanced modes, you have to setup BOTH. You cant just setup one mode and ignore the other. If thats what your doing I can see why your having problems.
