David,

OK.  The differences are very noticable.

This is interesting.  We never reacted to the increased 2 km frequency,
but I guess that we should have!

No, Maria Pirone _is_ the appropriate contact.  Sometimes it is simply
better to call her: 

                Name  Maria Pirone
            Position  Manager 
         Institution  WSI
          Department  Technical Development Group
   Street Address #1  4 Federal Street
City, State, Zip, Co  Billerica  MA 01821 
              Phone:  978 670-5149  Fax: 978-670-5100
       Email Address  address@hidden

>Thanks again for your time.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Ok Tom, I'll give Maria a call if I don't hear from her by tomorrow.

Cheers
