In this context, "coherent" means any non-white noise, repeating signal, including those that change frequencies within the channel. Coherent signal detected = no transmit. No jailhouse lawyers, please. We all know what the above means in the real world. Bill, W6WRT ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo! Groups gets a make over.
