Subject: Re: SDS 9 - dead channel: or not?

From: "Jonathan" <capnfishy@...>
Date: 2012-04-19

The mystery continues - when practicing last night, all channels worked. It definitely wasn't working, even swapping leads & pads. If I hadn't gone through that procedure, I would think I had imagined it wasn't working.
Whilst I can now enjoy the full set, I'm worried that it may disappear again.....
Cheers
Jonathan
