Fret not Neil, I understood the risks, maybe I was reckless and callous... I knew my P/N & ID didn't match and didn't expect the convert to work fully. Just curious to know if I have an option of using my GPS when I return to the US. I guess on that fact alone I decided to risk it despite of all the red flags. Thankfully I don't have a bricked unit, my backup made it all fine and dandy. Indeed, I would need a Asia 52 sw for this convert anyway.
