Keith, there's something odd going on, you and I are having problems we 
didn't have before whereas others are finding it the complete answer.  I 
wonder if we are both making the same mistake, however, I have no idea 
what it is.  With my boards mounted in a tight cluster I do get good 
results on 192000 but in any other position none of the sample rates 
produce usable results, and in any other position I do get a degree of 
relay chatter, and a startling degree of relay chatter when attempting 
level calibration.
