fusto addict Registered: 27/12/2001 Posts: 504 Loc: Lummi Island, WA	This means that there was/is a power dip in the power being routed to the empeg. During car start up this could be fairly normal, during regular use this could be a "bad thing" TM.

AndrewT old hand Registered: 16/02/2002 Posts: 867 Loc: Oxford, UK	Do I detect the distinct possibility of the car player giving a voltage readout of the car's electrical system, erm, yeah, maybe Is this really possible, does the player have an A-D convertor hooked up to the +12v line or is it fixed (hardware) voltage threshold detection?

It would probably help some people and satisfy the curiosity of others (me for one!). If I were posting this over on the Wish List forum I'd ask for it to be (optionally) overlaid onto the 'Track' display somewhere. Rue
