Yes indeed, and a little frightening for us Colonists, what with all
that "pursuit of happiness" babble and all. However, the radiation from
the TV comes primarily from the parts that make the screen light up with
a raster (if it's a CRT, and then, of course it probably was) ... fairly
high voltage sharp-edged signals with lots of harmonics ... and they do
radiate, at least for many tens of meters, on very predictable
frequencies. The LO's are still pretty weak and generally below the noise.
Connection to Elecraft:
1. I can't hear the K2 LO on my wide-band service monitor with the
input connected to the K2 antenna connector or laying next to the power
cable so I assume the NSA can't either
2. Elecraft products do not have CRT's associated with them so no one
is likely to break down your door on that account while you're on the air.
3. When transmitting with my K2, it is my sincere desire that
*everyone* can hear me. (OK, that 'connection' is a little weak)
There was one thread some time ago that began with an Elecraft question
that slowly morphed into dentistry (don't ask me how). This one has
covered transparent plastic, tools to work with it, advisability of
using it, sources of plastic, war (that was a big jump, no?), military
radio equipment, frozen battleships made of ice (not sure how that
happened), TV police, and at least one Urban Legend. I wonder how far
it will continue.
N0SS: A friend agreed to fix the Mitrek repeater and controller
problems that filled my workbench, and I'm back to fixing the KPA100
problem that resulted from the attempt to fix the 40m parasitic problem.
Stay tuned.
