Harold, I think you're "misunderestimating" both the degree of sarcasm
behind my post and my degree of control over the newsgroup's content. I
was merely suggesting that it makes no sense to deride an honest inquiry
about a chip and its applications on a homebrew newsgroup. After all,
you can buy any number of radios and kits, most of which will outperform
and out-feature anything any of us are likely to build, but that
doesn't mean you should tell someone who asks about designing a receiver
to STFU and go buy a 95S-1.

I believe you redirected my post without consideration as to what it
comprised.
My comments properly were directed to a poster who asked about an Analog
Devices chip that would not satisfactorily perform the task desired due to
an
inability to resolve an ambiguity at a single frequency. He then asked
about
using the phase slope of additional frequencies and I suggested doing it the
way he wished. I've already expended more "discussion" than I intended,
mainly
due to what I think is your "sarcasm". I didn't suggest buying anything .
Might
you be "misunderestimating" the results of your actions? If you have ANY
control over the newsgroups content, you might expend it more judiciously.

If you're seeing a lot of spam on the newsgroup, you may want to look
into a news provider that supports filtering on the server side. With
Giganews.com, I never see more than about 1% or so of the spam. I'm
afraid I'm unable to offer any further help with the Art Bell crap,
despite the power invested in me to redirect follow-ups to my own posts.
