Thank you - looking forward to stydying (and learning from) your code!

i dont know what motivates this Computer audiophile terrorism with guerrilla warfare tactics Rather harsh words. I asked a simple question, one that can be answered by a simple "yes, the source code is available <here>", or "no". It is really very simple. Sbgk is using the work ...

Only by default, the range setting can be changed.
