Crazy thought dept... How long does it take to turn the receiver on? If all the clocks in a mesh were synchronized, would it make sense to turn all the receivers off during idle periods and turn them on for say 100 ms on the second boundary to see if there was any traffic? (I'm assuming the transmit side would cooperate.) -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
