Subject: Level 1 Considerations
Yesterday, I sent you (except for W3IWI) a message discussing pre-frame sync in order to solicit what you know about the feasibility of implementing two octets of bit reversals on the WD-1933 ahead of the initial flag of the frame.
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.
Karl's article doesn't change my question (can the WD-1933 produce reversal-type pre-frame sync, albeit 2 or 4 octets). However, I thought that you'd like to have benefit of Karl's thoughts at this time. So attached is a preview of what will be
