When I originally wrote the MP chat, I had quite a lot of difficulty doing the
frequency matching between the sender and receiver, possibly because I was
doing a float comparison, or because the property is transfered as a float, or
because the radio frequency was a float.
I'm sure it would be pretty easy to sort out, but I never returned to it. If
anyone wants to take a look, they are more than welcome.
