Should we think about a knock sensor???

Mike

I am for that too.

As am I! It is good to pool the experiences of many to come to an
includive design! I totally forgot that even tho my 20B has 3 knock
sensors on it!!!
The difficulty would be in what the signal would produce (it must be
automatic and instantaneous to retard the timing or it is probably of
little use). Still, the ability should be there.

Knock sensor processors are hard to do. You need a simple amp and
a switch to put the knock sensor sound into the intercom system.
