One would need to research the differences between the 9018 and 9018k2ms, esp. the outputs and their requirements. Perhaps the easiest way would be to simply connect the two and see what result you get. <br /><br />Regarding your other questions: Brian and Russ are difficult to mail. The spam filters on their e-mail bins are set very strict, and they're quite busy. Unfortunately, I'm also very busy atm (and have been for the past few years) so I'm not able to do the research for you.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Leon</td></tr></table>2016-11-12T22:06:26-07:002016-11-12T22:06:26-07:00LeonvB<table class="content postContainer" width="100%"><tr><td>That is impossible to tell with this information.
