Well everyone is going to have an opinion based on the usage of "Duplex" they are most familiar with. Full duplex is actually redundant. Duplex means double. Half-Duplex ironically just means single or more properly simplex. Duplex in comms means double ended communications or a communications channel that supports simultaneous communications in both directions. Duplex in printing means printing from both sides. I was just suggesting a neat and tidy term that when combined with Range means double-ended range. If this is not what is meant then by all means suggest a more proper term for double-ended or double sided. Could be there is a better term than any of those. eris
