Thankyou. That's a good looking reference. For now it passes swiftly
overhead, but I get the point about converting to SI units ASAP for best
anchorage. I did see the Wikipedia page, but I think studying that file you
posted will work better for me.
About the PL-390, yes, I like it.

It crashed, locked like a brick within
days of buying, but despite that nasty event (and the even nastier twenty
minute wait that ensueth before the power fades enough to let me regain
control) that small radio impresses me every time I use it. I hope to figure
out a fast reset modification though, and I'm also wondering if I can find a
TTL serial based board for making my own project radio using the same IC, and
allowing me to use the old Psion Organiser II XP as a controller and display,
but I think that might be more expensive than I'd like despite the cheapness
of those Organisers these days.
