Hi John, Mat, and all, While Nothing's being currently made in terms of an
HF handheld, there definitely are such things, I have had and used some, And
with the advent of Chuck Carpenter's Mcount, they've become a lot more blind
navigable.  I  have an article and some followup questions and answers re
them that I'd be glad to forward off list/since the whole file is too long
to fit on the list, to anyone who'd like to read it.  Sincerely, Danny Dyer,
