That's not electrical engineering, that's computer science.

And thus you make yourself sound like an idiot. Hardware design is
*not* computer science (aka programming). ------ Besides my title is
"Electrical Engineer". Always has been, no matter where I worked.

This is just a small sample of what I know, because this is what I
work upon every day..... but I suspect a lot of it you have no clue
what it's about. And that's fine. Because I don't expect one person
to know everything there is to know about EE.

Not to denigrate Penn State, but graduates of the major EE (as
differentiated from CS) schools are expected to be fluent in most if
not all areas of ELECTRICAL engineering. ...

That sounds like a denigration of Penn State.
They did teach me all the basics,

- but not the advanced stuff (like synchronous AM reception
- - whatever that is).

SFTV - You chose to 'cross-post' to a Shortwave Radio Listener's
Newgroup (rec.radio.shortwave) most of the SWLs here have
some idea or concept of what an "AM-Sync" does and to some
degree how they function and perform within their Radios.

Clearly you have more than the Education and the Ability
to Inform Yourself and Communicate with the Members
of this Newsgroup in a Meaninful Way. - Please Do So.

i didn't know - i don't know - is not a valid answer
