Block the RX input for a few ohnoseconds[1] longer

or use subcarriers - this is a little harder. Transmit an FM modulated

tone
(carrier, say 10KHz, tone 1KHz) and transponding it back on another
carrier, say 15 KHz.


Might be a useful alternative. Have to have sharp filters.

Who was it that used to sell the sonar modules from the cameras for
experimentation


Polaroid, IIRC.

the "do it" key and the realization that you shouldn't have.
