thanks Klif -- I'll test that out -- it sounds totally correct as the 
LED flashes around 3-sec intervals.  Interesting design problem for the 
engineers -- and one that I am surprised that they missed.  I didn't 
find it on the forums that I checked.

I just got back from the desert where there was much silence but plenty 
of F/A-18 dog fighting (from Luke AFB in Tucson) going on in the skies 
above, talk about dynamic range!  And the rattlesnake rattles were 
probably ruined by wind noise.  Didn't want to get any closer and didn't 
have a boom!

Cheers,
John
