[Elecraft] temperature sensors and "convert" -- totally off topic

Exactly, Fred!!!  Great concept.  It’s not much different than learning a new language…or morse code for that matter.  At first, everything is translated back to your native language and then to thoughts.  Eventually your “knower” translates the words (or morse sounds) directly to thoughts, bypassing the translation to your native language.  Suddenly it is all much simpler, but if we aren’t willing to put forth a little effort, it never gets easy. 




As I said earlier, learn, learn, learn.  It is good for you.  

Oh, I almost forgot.  I run my KX3 at about 4 lbf. ft. / sec. ;-)

Since Eric seems to be on vacation or otherwise indisposed ...

With full credit to Richmond Johnson, a colleague at work and retired 
USAF Col, I think the problem with "going metric" is that we all have a 
"Knower" inside our head, as he said...
