BC> Yo! Doug:
DB> but 'hangs out' so far that it blocks another one?
BC> No, it requires only a single slot and the space thereof. But, it is
BC> a tight fit in the sense that the clearance between the receiver
BC> compartment and the adjacent card in the next lower slot is a bit
BC> slim.....maybe a couple of millimeters or so.
Doesn't sound like it's significantly worse than you might run into
with i/o cards and their cable connectors.
BC> into a slot where the next lower one is empty, but that is more of a
BC> convenience than a caveat. The card is rigid, once screwed down, so
BC> there is not a physical problem at all.
The stability question in a tower case is one that *I* hadn't thought
about....but I noticed that someone else did .
BC>> But I hadn't connected the antenna yet! My other radios never
BC>> detect WWV without the antenna connected. Of course, I always keep
BC>> the case off that computer, so perhaps some signal got into the back
BC>> side of the BNC connector. The
BC> Perhaps, but I'm not even sure where the case for THAT machine is.
BC> It's my workbench computer and I am always into and out of it. The
BC> sucker hasn't seen a case in years..........
Ah....the old "I know that sucker's around here somewhere, but da*$ed
if I can remember where" game .
BC> All's well so far, and I will have a good report in the next few days.
Yeah...and it looks like I asked you similar questions via internet
e-mail, then forgot and asked again here (sorry 'bout that). Anyway,
I think that I'm on your e-mail mailing list (dbryce@worldchat.com).
Can you make sure that I stay on that list please, Bill? I'm looking
forward to the 'final' report on this beast. Plus, the Canadian
source is 'just down the road from here'. So I can go have a look at
it sometime.
ttyl, Bill
Doug
