Dumb question #1:

What kind of signal is the watchdog?  Could it be generated easily so that a circuit could be designed to just send watchdogs without a DCSRC?

Just thinking.... dangerous, I know....

Was also thinking about this, building a stand alone box that would provide the signal either at a timed interval or when triggered to do so.  I think it could be done, but most people in this hobby don't seem to care much if they need a $50 part where a $2 one would work with a little more effort.  Stan's solution, therefore is probably good enough, any probably won't get any letters form Mike's lawyers over patent infringement for duplicating the DCS signal.
