I don't recall how well they defined that link after a connection was established, though. It might be that if a DHD was used, it continues to be used... | |

So opening a gate and bringing back a DHD is completely possible. But it would turn the destination world into a trap. | |

| Feb 16, 2012 at 22:49 | comment | added | Tyson of the Northwest | In those cases they had the power and control problem. By the time they had the generators to allow it, they had detailed specs of a DHD from research at Beta Site and elsewhere. By the time the expense of sacrificing a generator was less then the perceived gain of a DHD they had pretty much replicated all the functionality, and improved on it in some cases. | |
