Baz 52 years ago yesterday, I started my Radio/Radar Training when I went into the Royal Navy and the mnemonic we learnt, was not quite so polite as yours ;-) and I have heard it time and time again from Radio/Radar Mechs and Telephone Engineers. email me if you want the version I know ;-) Mike -- ....................................
