<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=718561700-07032007>I see a lot of
discussion about Alex around a number

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=718561700-07032007>Also there was a
request to have the band pass filter center frequency automatically adjust
to the RX frequency in use. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=718561700-07032007>If we were
going to have on-board intelligence anyway, would it be a more strait
forward solution in this case to have this CLPD control one
(or two, for dual RX) say ~0 to ~30 MHz "CLPD-tunable" band pass
filter's, instead of controlling (switching) a number of fixed band pass
filters?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
