I appreciate the input. Thank you.

thank you. Wanted to be sure everything was adjusted as it should be

This may win the "dumb question of the week award" and if it does, it will not be my first trophy in the category. I have a used 520 and everything seems to function as it should, within my limited sphere of knowledge on the subject, except one thing that I find annoying. When I have the t...
