And my point wasn't about grammar either; it was about the fact that you really used to able to get away with cr*p, and the bar is at least fractionally higher. In this context, there's so much prior art within a couple of minutes of googling, that unless there's something cunning (which let's hope there is) it may fall at that bar, and I had not seen any discussion elsewhere of this test.

First read Paul Graham's site: it's about the best collection of how to do a startup there is out there. Second: find an 'Angel', who's prepared to (a) sign an NDA and (b) who has some relevant expertise - there's lots of Angels out there with deep RF know-how Third: in parallel, go deep on the IP; as an electronics engineer, it's unlikely that if it's that simple there's no relevant prior art: try US patent number 5708427, 7319428, 5558091 - OK none of them are spot on but they're close enough and this has to be novel enough to be 'non-obvious' which is a high bar nowadays

I like something allegorical. Our company is Endeavour Partners; we use the names of Captain Cook's ships. My previous company was Mercator Partners; we used contemporaneous names of countries for servers, of major cities for desktop machines, and of ports for portable machines. I'm the CTO of a startup involved with horses: servers are racetracks; workstations are famous racehorses.
