Hi Bill,

Honestly I do not think that I have ever tried the Slew Guide from the scope pad. Tonight we are getting the weather that hit Oklahoma and parts west of here earlier so I will have to give this a try and report back later. If you want after a try or two of that I can send you the scope.log file.

Thanks,
Dave
