    OK, we don't want that to happen....I'll fix him good for you Al lol Seriously Rob, this machine has the ability to adapt to most conditions. You would be best to pick what you liked about the E Trac and try and set up a program like that. In other words, if you were a multi tones guy with high trash settings, start there. If you like two tones, go that route. Then you can ask more detailed questions. There is no magic program for everyone's tastes

    <} <}...You can't blame a guy for trying. Your help and insight over the years has always been appreciated thumbsup01


    My plan of attack is to start slow, run it as it came and learn from there, and make tweaks along the way. It is VERY similar to the E-trac, so there will not be a learning curve as bad as jumping to that machine.

    Rob, If you seriously want a reference for the CTX - Loan the machine to Angel for a few weeks so he can put it thru it's paces.
