First you have to get the clueful people in same room (figuratively -- email lists work) and then you have to let natural selection and attrition take place. Eventually you end up with about 1-5 clueful people doing the work. Here is one of the most important rules of this process: Never, NEVER, *NEVER* try to seek consensus. Seeking consensus doesn't work because the non-clueful people will feel a need to provide way too much counter-productive input. If an idea is good it will quickly become obvious to the clueful. > Summary: this summer DM780 will work with my own console at almost any data > rate via a published interface. > You are on the right track. Do what you think is best and then show people what you have done and ask for comments. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 [email protected] +1.931.492.6776 (+1.931.4.WB6RQN) _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
