If I had a dime for everytime I've clicked on a local radio station only to hear 'Gimme Back My Bullets', or 'Slow Ride' I'd have $19347.56 !

| DM1000 and DM2000 both have too few inputs. We currently use 22 channels and are looking to add. I should've noted the boards we are looking at are the 40-channel configurations. |
