That is the kind of info I'm looking for. I can appreciate the advantage since that is the way my Monitor works as well. Which model AP do you have? I'm looking at the X-30 and trying to decide if I should keep things simple and use the 6002 Seatalk control head or move into the new century and go with the ST70 or brand new P-70. The functionality and setup seem easier with the NEMA2000 but that could just be hype. I've been fooled before...The pricing is about the same.
