Re: [APML] Meade 201XT + Meade LX5 and/or Meade 2080

Ralph - I had my LX6 modified to talk to my 201XT and it needed to be
done by Meade. Call and ask for Mike Leigh. A really helpful guy. You
will need to send your hand controller AND drive base (remove the OTA) -
I know it sounds crazy but I had to do it. Then, you will need a relay
adapter from Meade (I have one for sale if you want it!). That easy.
They charged me $100 including return shipping to Canada. Worked fine -
they do this a lot but of course less now than ever.

Don't forget, I have a relay adapter for sale!
