For whatever reason, Gmail won't let me get the "Reply-To" blank, so
I'm forwarding this message back to the list.

I can't say whether the DD-20 or DD-6 would work. I suspect the DD-20
would, but I haven't been in the same room with one. Ted Killian is
practically an evangelist for the DD-20 (*not* a bad thing; he
answered all sorts of my questions about it and has me strongly
considering replacing my DL-4 with it). On paper, the DD-20 would
certainly do what you want, with a 23 second maximum.
