Need to change that! ARWO NOTES: When operating the radar recorder, need to wait for it to go thru its routine (hit the "mode" button, wait, then hit "REC"; reverse is also true) the portable hard drives are experiencing probs with usb cords: perhaps the way we bend them in the compartment? Let them hang if you don't get a good connection Penetrations Logged: 0 ARWO:____________________________________ Penetrations Verified: Verifier:____________________________________ Penetrations Posted: Awards:____________________________________
