[RE-wrenches] XW 4024

[Drake Chamberlin]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your information on the XW Series.   It seems that there 
were a lot of problems when they first came out.  Many of the 
problems may have been due to mis programming.

Do you think the XW4024 is good replacement for the old SW4024?  With 
AC 1 in and AC 2 in, reliable gen start options, ability to use only 
four 6-volt batteries, and other features, there has been a 
complication in doing certain systems that were easy at one time. 
Clearly the SW series had some maddening issues, but I'm hoping that 
the XW will leave those behind, without creating new complications.

Do you think the void has been filled?

Drake
