RE: CRRC GF45i

Hello CRRCers,
I haven't posted on this thread in a while because it seems that there are plenty of opinions and good ideas by now (after 69+ pages of info). After almost 3 years of working with...

RE: CRRC GF45i

Hi Craig,

Hi ARF,

RE: CRRC GF45i

Hi Doug,
It sounds like you are working with a version 1 GF45i. The newer ignitions in the black case are a big improvement over the one you are using with much less RF leakage. If you can't get...
