Welcome to the forum Kelky,

I've moved your post from General Technical to the X308 section where it should get a wider and faster response.

I must warn you the first reaction you're likely to get is about using ALL CAPITALS AND NO SPACES which is a good way to upset members because it's very bad to read.
