^ Now we're talkin'. I'll have to dig into the amateur radio section. Speaking of radio, while testing my '82 ColorTrak I was surprised to get audio other than static when I hit channel 6. My RF modulator was hooked up, and when I disconnected that, nada. I hooked my Sony back up, tried channel 6, same thing. It was shortly thereafter that I learned that analog channels 6 and 7 bookend the FM radio spectrum. Surprises abound when new to this hobby. As long as I'm not serving as a ground for any surprises measured in kilovolts, I'm happy.

I'm digging those Pioneer boxes with clock/timer, there's another potential use...

Edit: Well, I purchased the Jerrold StarCom III box I was eyeing, after receiving the remote purchased from another source yesterday. I negotiated a slightly lower price with the seller, who also offered to ship it to me from his alternate address in Canada, cutting the shipping cost by about half, wheeeee. Whenever I get around to taking some good electronics courses, perhaps I can make something that will make this box really useful. It's the only ultrasonic-controlled cable box I know of, and being nuts about ultrasonic remotes, I just had to have that one.
