The last time this subject was discussed on a Reflector, it was suggested that if a long delay were inserted between the SDR's input and output, the device would retain it's intended usefulness for "propagation checking" but make it useless as a "QSO repeater" for the Cheaters! Perhaps that should become standard practice? _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
