This is in response to post #19 from NM2K...who questioned my credentials...

I would love nothing more than to post my position, responsibilities and company/companies I work/worked for and my resume... but large public semiconductor companies do not like their "Principal Engineers" with large "revenue responsibility" being involved with things outside their day job...especially ones with majority world market share of things like 2.4Ghz radios and BPL.

What I can tell you is I am a former ASIC design engineer and have been working for silicon valley semiconductor companies for about 20 years now. For 3 years I commuted from RDU to SJC monday-friday every day of the week. So that public semiconductor company must have thought I knew something about it if they flew me from Raleigh to SanJose every week to deal with the hottest problems arround the world. I think I may have more FF miles than Neil Armstrong. All to fly to some big company to solve very complex electonic problems.

So when a big company like Motorola, AT&T, DishTV, Alcatel, Lucent, Dell, Cisco etc. hits a problem their engineers can't solve that is using my company's silicon I am they guy they send in. That is why I have been on a plane the last three weeks and just landed back in NC from San Jose, Ca at midnight last night... four years ago my design win quota was over $1B dollars worth of chips... That's a lot of chips at $10/ea...

So no, I am not a technician... I am not knocking them in any way and respect what they do and have met some talented ones over the years.

The product has been tested in more ways than you can imagine...
