sayd the following:

I didn't see his initial post for the assistance - to start with. When
seeing the one of not getting any replies, I figured I'd "try" to offer
"some" sort of help. Not being familiar with the unit, the help was basic
at
best. It doesn't matter if an answer is the right one - no one answer
always
falls into that category. The fact is, you "offer" to help in however you
can. It is up to the poster to accept it or reject it - try it or not. If
he - owning the unit - knows full well a suggestion can't work or has
already been tried, then move on to the next.

Not trying to be a smartass but could you please speak way down here
at my level and restate what you just said above?

thanks


Not being a smart ass at all! Let's see if I can redefine my words.

If someone offers help - of whatever nature it may be - the poster asking
for the help - in this case - you, has the option to accept those tips/hints
etc - and try them to see which of them might work and hopefully one will.
OR you can reject the idea - maybe because you already tried it/them. OR in
one case - I had mentioned what would have been an outlandish idea - of
placing an on/off switch on the unit, to which you would have had to drill a
hole - thereby making the unit no longer "waterproof" as it is supposed to
be now. So - in this instance - you could have said - SCREW THAT...........
And I wouldn't have blamed you. It "was" an idea - albeit not a popular one.
Not all ideas are feasible. I offered the hole and switch idea "before"
reading the radio was/is supposedly "waterproof". Me, I could care less -
if I wanted that radio and it had no way to turn it off, then a switch would
be in there ASAP - I can promise that.

I think you might be right - some things don't get "completely" shut down -
anymore. That really could suck up some batteries.
