Heh....<i>sensing a generational pattern in my family?</i><br /><br />Heh. My dad was a EE (mostly high-power stuff, but he had to work with control and instrumentation electronics too), and I became a EE, and married a EE who's the daughter of a EE, and our older son is an electronics technician who plays with Arduinos etc on the side (he's got lots of suggestions for off-the-shelf gizmos like that to use in model RR projects).<br /><br />The genes are strong in this one ;-)<br /><br />I built one of those Heathkit TVs in 1974 -- the first colour set my family had.Steve Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06022832831084750602noreply@blogger.com
