Yeah, that's quite a shrewd way of going about it.
Since it's not emitting anything the power it needs will be way less that something emitting its own signal and then checking for bounces which is how I naveivelly expected it would work.

"Shrewd" is a good word and it's going on my list. Thank you for the contribution.
