I don't remember the ""radar ranges". although I'm sure thre was such stufff.


I remeber very well the "Amana Radar Range" being advertised on TV.


No, you remember the Amana Radarange being advertised.

By that reasoning, so are carbon dioxide and feces.

To oversimplify a bit: Low frequencies (like AM broadcast) pass through
the body without being absorbed. Microwave frequencies bounce off the body
without being absorbed.



ROTFFL!!!

Why not PROVE your ridiculous theory by putting your head into a microwave oven!

.......yeah. I didn't think so.


.....or by leaning against a 50,000 watt AM antenna while standing on the
ground.

There is still no commercially-available equipment for the 902 MHz


amateur

band that I am aware of.

Using commercially-available equipment is cheating anyway. What does it
take to modify PCS cellular phone firmware for digital communication on
902? Is it just a matter of firmware or isn't the RF section able to


tune

that far out of band?


Think of it this way. When you have an FM broadcast antenna and


transmitter, it

makes quite a difference when switching within the same band from 88 Mhz


to 100

Mhz. (only 12 Mhz)

Now you want to take something from around 850 Mhz to 902 Mhz (52 Mhz
difference)

Plus the higher up you go, the more critical the circuitry. Even in


the 440

band you are already dealing with microsurgery when using the miniature


surface

mount components.



pretty might the same for all hand held electronics these days


Besides, working with microwaves is never a good idea.



everyone has to have a hobby... 900 MHz are NOT microwaves (we call it
microwave in brroadcast, but it is a slang term for high UHF)

Might as well just take

up smoking cigarettes instead.

I would play with mercury and use lead paint in my home no problem, but I


would

not ever build a transmitter and use microwave frequencies.



gunplexers are friendly... bi-directional line-of-sight audio




How did a disussion about AM radio (later microwave RF) change to audio?

Oh, yeah? Try dropping a Satellite 800 on your foot.

Correction duly noted.

No carbon dioxide, no plants, little oxygen.

No feces, little agriculture. Well, some places anyway. :-)

OTOH, no feces, very few politicians.

by George i think hes got it!


consider: CO2 is necessary for tree/plant life. human/animal waste products
enrich the soil, which aids plant growth. which provides healthy food, which
gives us humans more time to build and operate radio stations for the
enjoyment of the multitudes. the more people the more the cume and TSL
therefore the more cash flow and life is wonderful.

searching back trying to find who added all these freaking cross posts...

Read what he was replying to. That's his point. The reasoning doesn't hold
water.
