RE: repeater format reverse engineering project



Tom,

 I would love to help you with this project, BUT, I don't own a repeater...
:) I'm a software engineer who's been working professionally for 15 years
(www.musetrap.com/cpr/resume). For the last 7 years I've been primarily
working in the computer music field (Opcode, Digidesign, Emu, Apple, and
Euphonix)... I've done a fair amount of reverse engineering of file 
formats,
and if someone could send me files, with descriptions of what is recorded
in them, then I would be willing to take a stab at it... I suppose if a
repeater owner in the SF bay area was interested in this enough, they could
also do a short term loan of the device, so I could do more interactive
work, but, maybe a quick look at some samples might yield some results...
Let me know your thoughts...

peace
-cpr
