This is true. However, we know that a lot of Class A equipment IS used in commercial, light industrial and even residential environments, in Europe as well as elsewhere, and, AFAIK, the level of complaints of interference is not excessive. I presume that this is due to the low usage of AM reception now, in most areas, and the low expectations of those that do receive it, on $10 trannies or $50 boom boxes, not magnificent Grundig-type table radios with 4.495 kHz overall bandwidth. So there are good grounds, IMO, for a single set of limits, nearer Class A than Class B. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk After swimming across the Hellespont, I felt like a Hero.
