As usual, John does excellent work here. I remember well the time someone on a rec.radio.amateur.*
newsgroup claimed some single-loop PLL radio worked "flawlessly" on 9600 baud - with a TxDelay of
300mS. I tried explaining why that was a flaw, but he stubbornly repeated "frames got through without
errors". It didn't matter to him the 300mS delay creates a kind of hidden-transmitter syndrome.
