Question for the Moderator

Would it be possible for MBenzNL to post a 'Sticky thread' that would remain on the front page outlining the 'can do' and 'cannot do' modifications to the relevant US COMAND systems in the 211? It seems to be the most common question by far. (and understandably) There is no need for MBenzNL to advertise to carry out the work on the particular message. (The standard of his craftsmanship is appreciated on both sides of the 'Divide')

In my opinion he is the absolute authority in this particular field and he spends an awful lot of time repeating the same answers.

There is absolutely no criticism of anyone here whatsoever.

A big hello to you all
John

Very good idea. There seem to be so many variations based on model year, build date, lunar cycles, etc. that we almost need a separate database to keep track of it all. Even Scorchie admitted the other day that it is hard to remember which is which.

It would probably be better if Steve used his web site to provide more information.

I understand your point, but people that ask the questions quite obviously have never heard of Steve.

Thanks for the input
John

This forum seems lightly moderated - which can be taken as a tribute to the general civility of the discourse here. It might be more effective to PM or E-mail one of the two moderators with the suggestion.

Thanks very much for the suggestion. I am a 'bit' of a chatterbox, but sadly not very 'forum' literate.

Is Scorchie the person to pm the question to, please?

Thanks,
John
