Julian: I apologize for my county men,, forgive them for they know not what they ARE TALKING about. If they would all just shut up and use it,, NO ONE,, including the Federal Communist Committee, would even care.. Lately my country men seem to like to start wars that we can not win.. (we weren't always like this) Garrett / AA0OI

I thought what they gave was an opinion, which is really no more valid than yours or mine if it's still ultimately your responsibility to decide what's legal and what's not. Whilst I can understand the cautious wanting to take what they said at face value, I really can't imagine they would come down on anyone who had sound technical grounds for believing that they are wrong, but perhaps I don't understand how things work in the US. > > ISTM that the only way to get around that one is to claim that the > inventor is an idiot.

The fact that he originally described it as SS doesn't mean that he meant what the FCC understood by the term SS. Anyway it's up to you guys. This argument keeps on going round and round in circles without my help. Julian, G4ILO
