I am only recently signed up but Kate, my wife is the one who may have seen it on our crossing from India. I have so far ploughed through about half way so sorry if some of my isssues are repeated elsewhere but I really think this is worth saying even if it is duplicated further on!
If electronic why would the first transmission be 18:25, and thereafter until the last one at 41 minutes past the hour - that is not the way electronics work and to have a reliability 2 out of 7 being "random"generated is not a believable failure rate for high grade electronic equipment! My cheapo mobile has never changed my alarm by undetectable time variations! There is growing suspicion on Duncans blog and the ping ring/s are being discarded - too technical for me but point is if scientific community does not have confidence as they claim only partial data release then where does the evidance get credibility from - and a commercially interested party such as Inmarsat who stand to loose millions if alternative up to date technology is chosen certainly have a conflict of interest here! I do not know if there is credance in the ping ring stuff - however full data disclosure to independant groups would be an acceptable test of the validity of their claim.
BFO is absolute nonsnense here and has absolutely no use in the investigation for the simple reason is that the inputs determine the outputs so they actually can be shown to show what ever you want! If you assume a Southern route and plug in some southern numbers it will give you some southern options, same thing if you use northern data.
Inmarsat have claimed there is radar data showing a turn North of the Andamans and MH370 heading south. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhRO-0Lx_kQ on the 24 March. This has somehow "grown into fact" yet where is this evidence? Iff you look at the CNN live broadcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G97RCynAzxM it shows what appears to be this evidence (see http://mapwaveanalysis.com/mapwaves...t-can-you-do/mapolitics/mh370/resources/atsb/ for times)
Malaysian authorities claim to have sealed evidence http://www.straitstimes.com/the-big...h370-cannot-be-made-publ#sthash.D7Et3nCL.dpuf. HOWEVER as the last known position being used for these critical calculations of BTO and BFO is the Malaysian radar data Inmarsat really has NO CREDIBILITY and there is NO EVIDENCE THAT RULES OUT THE NORTHERN OPTION or ATSB is intentionally misleading the search based on not utilizing all known data.
Personally Inmarsats conflict of interest is too great, and combined with the contradictory evidence and analysis by various groups, including Inmarsat and ATSB, I do not believe the ping ring stuff is fact! MH370 can be anywhere within its fuel range.
Either this statement is incorrect (as within 3 or 7 minutes depending on source of ping rings of last primary radar it must still be well within the 200 mile range of Indonesia (Acer Banda) and Thai (Phuket) as well as Indian (Andamans) ATC towers???, or Inmarsat data has been edited.

From ATSB report On page 24 For a given relative motion, there are many combinations of aircraft speed and heading that will produce the correct frequency change (BFO). There is however a limited range of speeds at which an aircraft can operate and therefore the number of feasible speed/direction solutions is limited (Figure 23). If you read BFO validation page 29 This simulation was able to prove definitively that the BFO value is influenced by the location, speed and heading of the aircraft., none of which are known, assuming a single turn followed by a predominantly straight track. and then go onto the assumptions made for the three Analyses.
