[Techtoolslist] Anyone use a Huntron Tracker before?

[Jim Mizzell]

I used one some. My techs were quite proficient with them.  You develop
experience with signatures,such that you don't always have to have a
similar board, although they can be very helpful.  It's a good piece of
equipment.  Experience from using helps a lot.
