Wireless control question...

Jan 30, 2006 6 Replies

I have been out of the loop for a while due to the illness and the death of my wife. My old On30 pike is still ancient cab control. Where would be the best place to learn about the newer control systems including sound? Any good books on the subject? Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.

I've bought from both dealers and they have been fine: service, support, and price.
