No sooner was that dispatched when the incoming mail brought a manuscript for QEX from Karl Meinzer, DJ4ZC. In it he makes a case for 4 (rather than 2) octets of pre-frame sync. He also has a number of other well-received points which I will certainly incorporate in the Level 1 document to the extent possible. So, Karl's input is timely and much appreciated.
