Don,
You are correct about the center setting on the optacon 2 switch; and I have
the optacon 2 manual plus the addendum if anyone wants it. I can quote the
appropriate parts in an e-mail message if that would be easier.
I am always delighted that people need optacon documentation. I scanned it
during the past year, thinking nobody would be interested; but I have
e-mailed quite a few of them as text files, and am glad to help to be part
of keeping the optacon alive.
