Thanks for the crystal clear reply Chris. You're explanation is well thought out and concise, and avoids the disjointed ramblings one would expect from someone not in complete control of his faculties.


Have a great day

You know, Dean, I let that one go... Quote: buy american and save a moron in the milatary [sic] service! But I gotta say, I've run into a much higher percentage of morons in the civilian workface than I ever did in the military... I think Chris forgot his meds again. Perhaps he'll thank a Soldier, S...

Well if this global warming thing works out, think of all the energy we will save not heating the northern US all winter! Oughta offset the cooling needed through the summer I would think.

I was out of line with my last post. Too long a day a day and no sense of humor. My apologies, Chris.

Yep, Chris has one of his best ideas ever. Flame the bots. I'm sure they have a "shame" line of code in the program somewhere. They will get the message that they are losers and eventually go away. Absolutely briliant!
This is the kind of deep thinking that makes this forum top notch.

gee, I was hoping the power of decent PC could descramble this stuff in real time. I suppose using proprietary CODECs makes sure "free radio" will cost us all a bundle. Sounds like a lot of companies stand to make a ton of money when the changeover goes to high gear. Same with the new TV's...

I hear a lot of commercials touting the new HD radio as a free service. I also see receivers at around $300. My semi logical mind says there must be a cheaper way to recieve this free service, and i would think there would be no legal problems? Any ideas?

Ismail, are you looking for a "treasure hunter" type of system to detct buried objects, or a WTMD (Walk Thru Metal Detector) to find hidden weapons, or what? I guess my question is.. what is the application for the unit?

dont forget "Time Tunnel"

I for one appreciate Chris' bold leadership by example on this one. Politics is a far cry from the logic of electronics, and really doesn't belong here.

ps have you seen my new bumper sticker?

Run! Hillary, Run!

Wayne, I think the cell companies do it because they can... I think they are afraid of competition, and by forcing a 2 year contract, they dont have to constantly compete for your business. I suspect one company will eventually break ranks, and the others will have to do the same to remain competiti...

Wayne, have u tried craigslist, Portland?

One of our older pieces of equipment (early to mid 80's) used a system exactly like that, although the distance was across a few feet of moving conveyor belt, instead of a few inches. The transmitter/receiver was one unit, built by Micro Switch, USA, Part number FEMLS7A 1011. We used a white bicycle...
