I expect so Bob, but the mods needed should be pretty obvious, basically 
commenting out the lwasm pulls and builds.

I'd go play, but ATM I am up to my g____s in the local am broadcaster, 
whose 60 yo daytime transmitter is not reacting all that well to a tower 
badly in need of a tuneup in the doghouse.  Tonight, after I'd replaced the 
tube that was the domino that took out most of the low voltage power supply 
burning up the transformer and filter choke too, the swr did a number on 
his motorized transmitter changeover switch.  Those are about $500, and I 
can do the same thing with an ebay shielded knife switch for $27.  But I 
can't stop the overstressed parts failures as long as I can see 1100 watts 
going out, and almost 300 coming back.  But a bridge to measure and adjust 
that is either a visit at umpty bucks for some fellow over in Ohio, or a 
minimum of $1000 for a GR 1606A for me on fleabay.  So as soon as I can get 
my stuff in one sock tomorrow, its back at it again.

Thats what you get when you are a dying breed of engineer, who actually 
fixes things.  I go in, do what has to be done, collect the money and they 
still accuse me of walking on water. ;-)
 
Cheers, Gene
