Here is a thread exclusively about 'Power Calibration Errors' http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/93406 I hope that this helps .. Oh, and it probably is a good idea to use the 'search' function before starting any more threads .. sometimes you can find the answers very easily that way ... Cheers ... Victor
