    WTF gpx5000

    Always run my 5k in special, gain around 9 or 11 stabilizer 6 or 7 and in tracking. Picking up bits 0.07gm at 3 - 4 inches and the 4000is much the same but a slower swing to hear it. 5k is running a NF 14" open mono and the 4K is running 7x9 mono. Send it back to ML for a look.
