Hi Dave,
Yes, all possible combinations of the harmonics would be available using just the one parameter instead of four.
Sorry to hear about the bad currency rates between US and AR.

And I have been struggling with incomes and also rocketing US dollar exchange rates here in Argentina (1 dollar = 3.8 AR$; average salary being around 3K AR$) that have put a temporary gag on my plans to go Hawk 800. Hope to get my Poly fixed soon and then, soon, my Hawk.
