Bill, 
you don't follow Johns post - he is powering the target with 3V and 
the problem comes from LCX-to-AC direction as AC have threshold 3V 
for "1" high level and this is on the edge when LCX is powered with 
3.1V only

of course this is OK if *all* LPTs provide >4.5V which ACT will need 
as this part is powered from LPT
