I can't tell you how kewl this is, Stephen.  Thanks for all your work 
(and please pass along a big "thank you" to Peter and Terry as well).

One quick question: would you happen to know if the new Condor mod is 
exclusive of or complimentary to the work done by the guy in Boston? 
It's probably not a good idea, but I'm curious if one could 
theoretically have both mods done to reduce the noise even further.

Not that I'm complaining about an extra 25 dB's off the noise floor....  ;)
