Hi Lori,

Just want to confirm this for a customer. They asked spectrum digital, who replied that they can simply use the "Spectrum Digital XDS510" connection instead since they use the same drivers. Is there something else limiting the use of the XDS510LC?

Thanks

Ki - I will forward you an email exchange I had with SD on the subject of adding XDS510LC support.
