Don't know much about them, but they will only work with compatible equipment with similar capabilities. I stick with vanilla G and allow B connects so compatibility and latency are "normal". I have no urgent need for slightly greater speed, and no rationale to upgrade 6 systems that "ain't broke". I'd recommend disabling the funny stuff and stick to basic specs so acquisition searches (etc) need not go off into never-never and maybe lands. Chuck
