Perry, please let me know how you come out on this.
I STILL have NOT resolved all the issues with mine.
There is a bulletin out on the splitter, It's
supposed to be replaced no matter what the set is
in for.
I don't know if the fly could take out the
splitter, I doubt it, but it is a moot point
anyway.
Thanks
