I'm not positive of that. If the US sensor is plugged in to a powered NXT, I
can detect a clicking from it - I presume it's on. Regardless of what sensor I
define the port as, this clicking continues. This is what I was basing my "can't
turn the US sensor off" remark on.

I was using an even simplier one: change the sensor, wait 1 second, then
change the sensor again, etc. the clicking never stops.

Have you been able to verify this? I know there are FW commands that claim to
do this, but I've not seen it provably done as yet. And would *love* to hear
it's possible.
On a related note, I'm trying to see just how much interference two US sensor
working in the same room actually produce. The result seems to be "darn little",
but I need to test some more. This may not be as big a problem as we're worried
about, I'm unsure now.
