Bill, and all,

I hope I'm not stepping on anyone.  I certainly don't want to and if I am 
please let me know and I'll shut down.

When I first joined this list several weeks ago, I wanted to get on the 
air and join in at the 185.3 watering hole if at all possible.  I didn't 
know if I'd be succesful enough to be heard there, but that was my 
intention.

As you know the design I'm using right now is a little inflexible on the 
frequency ... well, you are limited only by the number of oscillators you 
have :)  And I have two.

That's why I was looking for some screen captures, beacuse I wanted to 
come in there near you guys but not step on anyone.  But really I'm a 
slave to whatever frequency the oscillator ends up running.  I had 
intended 185.302 but ended up with 185.300.

I have another oscillator that would put me near 189.5.  I need input from 
you guys, though, as I have no rx setup.  If I should move, I will.  I was 
hoping not to, though, because I know many are listening near 185.3, and I 
feared that if I moved to 189.5ish I wouldn't get any more reports :(

I AM working on the DDS exciter, though, so this will all be moot, soon.

So please let me know if I need to move, and please accept my apologies if 
I've impinged upon anyone's established frequency .. it was unintentional.  
Also please know I'm working feverishly on the DDS exciter which will 
allow me to move about in sub-hertz steps.

Thanks,
Eric
