I had to go back and see if made a typo in my post. It's a RAL I'm
needing. I did mention the RAK that I already have so that may have
caused some confusion. I noticed on my keyboard the "L" and the "K" are
right next to each other. I often stab at a key and .. miss. The
connection between the RBL being simpler and my project is more likely
because I mentioned making somewhat simpler. Ken's message did mention
that.

I received an offer from a fellow in Cleveland. It's a long way (more
than 700 miles round trip) for a day trip but doable. I'm waiting to
hear back from him. Depending on his ask-it the proposal is hanging in
between go and no-go. All I need to do is find another reason or two to
go in that direction so I can combine trips. I would be on the road *ALL
DAY*.
