Which is what you would expect for a thousand bucks instead of a hundred bucks. I had built my own relay for my earlier non VC head because Alan thought it was dumb for me to spend the 75 bucks on his unit so he just game me the specs over the phone insisting I could do it. The fact that I am not really an electronics guy and had to go into a deep meditative mind over matter trance to glock onto the thing and figure it out is beside the point.
