Thanks for that clarification. It seems very reasnoble. I obviously
never bothered to do a carefull calibration of my SR620, so I haven't
picked up the fine grain details involved with these procedures. This is
a good reminder that I should pay attention to those details. I think I
can say the same for most of my gear.

Magnus
