MessageHi Marcel,=20
I'd like to have tune lab or something for pitch raising to get me in =
the ball p ark.  I'm curious, if one uses a lap top to tune, what is =
used in order to pick up the noes pitch, laid on the pins to pick it up? =
 Are lap tops cheaper in price than pocket pcs?

  Hi Marshall,

  TuneLab is probably the least expensive program you can get to tune. =
The nice thing about it is that it is a very light program (it does not =
need a super fast processor). So, you can probably get a used laptop and =
run it.=20

    I know I'm not going out and buying and ETD right away, but I was =
wondering what size font the print is. ie. 10 12 etc.  Since I use the =
city bus system, the smaller ones woule be a better match for me ,but =
depending on the print.  I can see the red light on the spinner pretty =
well. Are they pretty much the same in price, tune lab, verituner etc.  =
I know the Acutuner III is in the neighborhood of 1700$=20
