Thanks for the encouragement Jim, old machine was a lease, no data at all.

I do realize there will be input on my part, I am very good with adjusting correcting machines/electronics. I've spent the last 20 years running a Satellite Earthstation.

I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea in 2011, couldn't make it work. I have been having pretty significant apnea , waking with my heart pounding, feeling like I had been holding my breath forever.. :lol: I've taken a look at the new machines and they seem to be relatively self setting.

I was looking forward to a more modern unit that I could monitor my results with. The office requires me to ...
