I genuinely don't know, and so this post is non-responsive as regards your original question. _BUT_ (and I don't mean to start a flamewar over shippers) I'd never use UPS when I could ship by USPS or FedEx. I've seen UPS trash stuff that had been packed professionally and that I wouldn't have thought could be trashed by any means short of running a truck over it. I've never seen FedEx treat anything I've shipped, or had shipped to me, badly at all: oscilloscopes and other fragile stuff have arrived hale and hearty, ready to plug in and use, via FedEx. -- Mike Andrews Tired old sysadmin The trick with UPS is to put $1000 or more Ins. on it. That way it atomaticly gets special handling and they treat it like a baby. -- 73 and good DXing. Brian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A lot of radios and 100' of rusty wire!
