It means that he wanted to list "quite a few" items and had to use low starting prices. I guess the one in question didn't get bidded-up. The aggregate list value meant that he chose to risk not starting high. Or am I missing a point here? John k -Original Message- From: neonixie-l@go

Sigh, Tempest. "We" used to service some Tempest spec sites. Btw, you need a security clearance to be able to access/read the spec too :-)) And, some of our guys just would not keep the spares cabinet locked. I agree that shielding/filtering the supply is not impossible, but is so much harder t

Thanks for the reply David – I thought of you when I posted. I am keen to get some replies from HF listeners where particular “brand”/circuit supplies get commented on. Any idea how your watch [supply] performs [when displaying] around HF comms? John K From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com
