Subject: Designed And Built By PROFESSIONALS....
From: "KØHB" Date: 10/18/2004 8:16 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: "Jim Hampton" wrote C'mon, you know better than that. Perhaps the point is that equipment sold in the United States is *supposed* to be (and likely was) checked for radiated emissions. Of course I know better than that! And so does Jim. A single example of this product developed some sort of birdie/spur on 121.5. Nothing more, nothing less. On the contrary. That device is a rather expensive piece of consumer electronics. If I plop down more than $100 for a television, I darn well expect it to do what I want, and I DON'T expect it to do stuff I don't want it to do...Like QRM'ing SARSAT. Of course the story makes good news copy on a slow day, but it's hardly a remarkable incident, and certainly not a reason to make snide innuendo about "Designed And Built By PROFESSIONALS". Sure it was. It was an expensive piece of consumer electronics that launched an even more expensive (and potentially distracting) search and rescue mission. The USAF and it's proxy, Civil Air Patrol do NOT dismiss as "unimportant" ELT signals or RF radiated on ANY frequency that have the potential of being a distress signal. Neither is it a reasonable basis for a jeremiad about the FCC shirking their responsibilities. Why not? What other agency is responsible for establishing the technical standards for consumer Sheeeeesh! Sunnuvagun! My name is Hans and I improved this message. This was improved? Steve, K4YZ |
