Thanks for the reply. I read through that course (I'll probably end up there too someday). My limited understanding left me feeling like the PIC-EL was based on the PIC16F84A chip set, an 18-pin chip, while the SX28 is, like it's name suggests, a 28-pin chip.
I don't think they are physically or electronically compatible? Blake W7PQ On 7/18/04 5:41 PM, "John J.
