Jim,

That lack of attention to detail was my experience as well with the
436CP42UG.  I also had to cut one element to size.  

In addition, the instruction sheets for the CP switching assembly cover both
models of the beam, in theory.  However, there are some very significant
differences in how to run the phasing lines, and the manual, dating for
2000, is simply incorrect for the larger beam.  After a lot of head
scratching, and repeated unanswered e-mail, I called and got someone who
pulled their copies, which were also wrong.  We finally got it sorted out,
and he said he would try to get the documentation updated.  That was 2 years
ago.  If you bought the 70-CP switching assembly, I would be very interested
to know whether the docs have been updated from the 2000 version.

73s,
