Exactly Steve,
and in a way both questions were answered.  Greg's pointing out that the 
acb radio protocol is closed, naturally closed that issue entirely.
The later comments about protocol now have  me asking very specific 
questions about the airmedia setup in the hope of finding a work 
around here.
  I did not mean to suggest that the Jamania and Greg's pictures 
conflicted, just that they were different.  difference does not  equal 
conflict always, and not so here.
