Tracy,

How should I plumb the 4 lines for the 3-rotor.  From your
explanation, it seems it should have 6 lines (2 per rotor)?  Even the
20b OMP only has 4-ports. Should I split the 4th line into three
separate lines?  Do you know of anyplace where I could read about how
OMPs are connected from the factory?

Thanks,
Mark

P.S.  Were you going to email me a copy of the updated EC-2 manual?
