Hi Tim,

You haven't missed anything in the thread....

I'd like to try out one of those field programmable chips.  I looked 
at some on the net, but I haven't found any that were readily 
available from Mouser...I'll keep looking.  

Meanwhile, Loren, WA7SKT had a MM5369 in his collection and
will mail that to me.  I'll put that to good use in a project I'm 
currently working on.
