Pete,

Just curious. Did the radio wind up with a mechanical on/off switch?
Looking forward to seeing it. Is there a particular brand name to be
on the lookout for - or is Silicon Engines the name it will come out
with?

Hi Russ,
It looks like it will have a uP controlled switch. They also
want to have RS-232 control. Is that a desirable feature?
Actually, all of the other controls, including tuning, volume, bass, treble,
and mode will be selected by shaft encoders.
As far as the name, it will probably be either Silicon Engines or Quadphase.

I'm sorry to hear that you won't be there to see your baby make it to
market. Some third-rate hack who couldn't design an audio preamp will
probably claim it as his own.
