Ah, OK.

I noticed that you make both terminated and unterminated receivers.
Now it seems that newbies like me need unterminated tranmitters, whereas
most folks perhaps won't.

I'm not a hardware guy... so bear with me. This may be a *very* silly
suggestion...

Is it possible to make just one model of transmitter and reciever and some
sort of switch or link on each to chose termination vs. non-termination?
