Eeek. I was intending to set up some software to monitor IBP beacon frequencies for 3mins each. 1 band change every 3 minutes, 5 beacons to get through, call it 2 operations every 15 minutes for each relay involved, so admittedly "only" 8 operations/hr not 1,800, but that still gets me 200,000/8 = 25000 hours, that's about 3 years life expectancy, or admittedly "min" life expectancy... Better hope I manage something closer to Wayne's "millions of switching cycles" :-/ -- "Nosey" Nick Waterman, G7RZQ, K2 #5209. use Std::Disclaimer; [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only thing worse than raining cats and dogs is hailing taxis. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
