Does anybody know how decent this animal is ? Don't expect the greatest but wouldnt want garbage either: output/xmit quality, reliability, etc. Also, is the coupler external and is there a way to bypass it for a direct connection if desired (with apropriate equipment, of course). I understand the reason in a transportable but concerned about loss through the coupler and usually would not need it. Jeff Sicherman
