I have to agree, Rod.  It is very puzzling.  Clearly, others have had significant
troubles with something in their efforts to use the 201xt.  Maybe I just lucked-in to
the right combination of different components that makes this all work?  But like you
said, Dyer seemed to get his test unit to work OK (with a guide scope); and some
others have done likewise for OAG.  Return to:  "puzzling".
