    Khouse we do not know how the software defines the interplay of the demodulators for each individual frequency, so... I could be way off on how rusty iron would affect the graphic representation. :shrug: Hey, I'm a layman when it comes to electronics so forgive me! :lol: Tom

    just caught a pair of wolves on the Old Faithful webcam a couple minutes ago..(edited).

    either there weren't any visitors on the boardwalk or the wolves scared 'em off! :chase: The second wolf's head is visible at the top of the sign. They are coyotes not Wolves... Sorry for the false alarm! :blowup:

    Farmers can be a treasure trove of information for finding sites

    Yesterday saw the passing of a grand old Gent whom I could sit down with and listen to for hours at a time. A real wealth of local information and history. RIP "Morrsie" 94 years young. You will be missed! Just had to post this as thoughts of him are on my mind Tom

    Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-Mart your local Hardware Store....

    F70 SL mode

    Is anyone making use of this mode? What does it do? Is it a hybrid of All Metal and Disc? All I know is what little bit of info the manual gives. If it's noisy as stated in the manual then my assumption is that there is a bit of digital signal processing going on that is perhaps tied in...
