Thank you comment icon Jeremiah, If I may offer a suggestion to improve results for you on this forum, I would suggest that you think of the one question that you would like to ask an electronics engineer that would influence your decision toward that career. Many of your questions would be appropriate if you were hiring an engineer, but I doubt that is your intent. Good luck in your pursuits. david kirk
