Hi Ed,

This would make sense (to switch roles) if the administration hadn't
trumped that call. Reports recently indicate that the FAA may soon
allow anyone, anytime, to make cell phone calls while in flight.

Anything goes for a price. The FDA has proven that it is no longer
the watchdog of medicine, and the FCC is the gateway for spectrum
bargains and marketplace sweeps.

With these acronyms, one may well wonder what the "F" stands for.

If you make your own TRF receiver, with no LO, it won't interfere with
anything. In fact, you can then put an AM detector in it, and also
listen to the aircraft chatter.

Another way is to listen to stations at or below 97.3 MHz, which would
keep the LO at 108 MHz or below.




Like maybe putting the LO at about 80 MHz, so that the 3rd harmonic of the
LO drops into the UHF navcom band?

It is official; i just read in one of my electronigs mags i get that
the FAA indeed has ruled that airlines can allow use of computers over
the net when flying.
But it is up to each given airline to modify their own giudelines (as
they see fit).
