         | 
         | with RF you can transmit images in the same fashion. I am ~80%

         | hellschreiber, it looks like the spectrogram images on the RF
         | spectrogram. The images don't "go" as far as dedicated digital

         | (like within 100 miles or so, depending on band, time of day,
         | and E[i]RP).
