Darn!

I just spent the entire evening banging on this too and got it working.
Only to have CVS pop up an error that I didn't understand.  Now you beat
me to the punch...Oh well, collabrative development.  :-)

Now, my code sits here viewable only by little ol' me...

I agree.  It appears we can safely discard the first byte of each
record.

Yup.

I verified that *my* version will both get and set the frequency.  :)
Setting the frequency required no changes.

I'd like to keep banging on this as I'm getting a nice handle on things
now.  So, I guess I'll have to look at your file and mine and decide
which I like better, merge them and then see what works.

I would have gotten this done sooner but had a fire dept training
session last night.  Full gear, air pack, and flames in a confined
space.  Fun stuff!
