Well, I have over 45 years of experience in which we knew the
HOWs and the *WHYs*.
The correct HOWS had indeed been previously posted ... but
the WHYs had not. That is the reason for the thread wandering
back into bodging cables and connections.which is not a good

WHY the proper HOW was the correct way to proceed.
Thats not a soapbox ...its all theoretical/engineering/practical fact.

Happy to hear that you dine regularly Mike ....so do I
