Gday Matthew
I dont disagree with a lot of whats been said,
but i'm also a realist on a budget.
Yes i did know of some of the bugs when i purchased,
and others have been found since.
New ones have recently come about as a result of the new hardware used in the 497EP and Audiostar handboxes.
Again, there is now a wealth of knowledge on the net re the known problems, and how to get around most "if you want to"
so caveat emptor.
PS i keep getting patches and warnings for my PC operating system
ie how its not safe and can be compromised by hackers
( And they want me to do internet banking ????

)
I would consider that a product more "not fit for purpose"
than my telescope

, but i still use it.
