OTOH John, I have had an FCC field inspector walk in the door with citations in hand. They disappear like magic if, after showing him the error doesn't exist when he asks what you are using for a demodulator & you turn and point at an ancient R&S model AMF in the rack. No matter what he has in the truck, the Rhode was considered better. Same with an MSI if the calibration is current. This of course was back in NTSC days. That Rhode was $25k in its day, the much newer MSI was just north of $5k. [...] Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
