I bought a second handset as a spare.

I have been able to upgrade the firmware to the latest available from Meade. Goodness, that took a long time to download from computer to handset - probably some 15-20 minutes? But it got there.

Now, how do I copy across everything from my working handset to the new handset? Meade manual is very sparse on the clone function.

What is the cable that I need to connect the two handsets? Wiring diagram?

Have searched through Mike Weasner's site but cannot find a full description of what I need and what I have to to do.

I did read that one option is to connect the two and set the new one to "download" and the old one to "clone all". Makes sense.

But I also read that I can up load the old one's details to computer with the Autostar suite and then download to the new one from computer? True?

Thanks all.

(Yes and I still have the alignment problems - haven't had a chance to revisit that for months now.)
