Good points Jeff. While the converter may not be Aurora's, as you point out access to the knowledge and tools are, without which this wouldn't have been possible. In the end, this style design is more of a software effort than a hardware one anyway. Hat's off to people like Malcolm, Darius, and others who have, and continue to design and build converters making it possible to use these old sets, and get people interested in the hobby. We are still represented in such small numbers compared to the radio hobbiest's, making such a personal challenge all the more important.
And if Jeff and I do get to boring to readers here, or to far off topic, please let us know. Sometimes it's hard to know when you've wondered off.
