Did a search of the famous online auction house today, now that the holiday season is upon us. Major findings:

1. In most* cases, you can't easily tell whether the item is an original or a revised version. The phrases "New", "New in box," "NIB," "Never opened," etc., tell you nothing.

2. Many of the descriptions of the item falsely claim that the devices will run "...all O/027 by...MTH..." That's simply not true, as we should all know by now.

I hope this helps some of you. No need to respond to this post. That's all I have that's new, and frankly I'm sick of it. It seems that far too many of you would rather play silly mind-games than to learn what the CW-80's actually can and cannot do. So, armed with this new information, you're on your own.

Happy Holidays.


*In today's listing, only one seller actually states that his is a "G Revised" model, although many of the others may well be -- you'll have to contact the seller directly.

In my case with a new CW-80 there was more it could NOT do than could. Thats why it's used to power lights now. Great for that.

Thanks for the info but please cut down on the caffeine.
