Thanks Rick, Sorry if it sounded a bit tongue-in-cheek was just about to take off for cooper county for the weekend. Really the reason that I ask is the in my 27 years in broadcasting and 2 way radio repair the word robustness or in any form was never used. This must be a new one. But then I still was a 28ASR machine for RTTY and a slide rule. Yeah I know half the group just ask themself "what the hell is a slide rule " Well kids it's a none electirc calculator. Still have the one I used to take the frist class radio telephone test in front of the FCC in 1970.
Anyway where did that word come from and when was it frist to used? --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, KV9U <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > John, > > A little tongue-in-cheek there perhaps? > > Needless to say, when you are communicating with someone else, the one > thing you want the most is to be able to receive their transmission > correctly.
