According to the NHOP, USAF and
NOAA aircraft will normally transmit
recon observations through USAG
GCCS stations via phone patch to
Miami. These GCCS stations will
often provide a discrete frequency for
the aircraft to operate with their
stati on during the flight. A good
watch on the GCCS frequencies listed
in Table 1 will assist the monitor in
tracking the progress of the flight .
NOAA aircraft also use discrete
frequencies listed in Table 1 to
communicate directly to Miami.
Don't be surprised by what you will
hear on these channels. While the Air
Force qu it the practice, NOAA still
offers rides during hurricane missions
in their aircraft for the media. It is
not uncommon to hear a television or
rad io station's chief weatherman
talking to the studio live during a newscast from a NOAA plane about the
storm he is riding out. These can
provide some very interesting details
about life aboard a Hurricane Hunter
in a storm.

Trouble
by Kyle Henderson
ARMENIAN SSR
USSR cannot and will not grant full independence to such republics as Latvia,
Estonia, and Lithuania -- the ones which
see m to have gone furthest along that
road. Yet the Kremlin cannot clamp down
and return things to the way they once
were, either.
The bottom line, however, is that the
gen ie is out of the bottle. Finding a satisfactory middle ground is one of the great
questions now facing Gorbachev. All of
which makes for on-going drama in our
nightly news and a natural draw for the
shortw:we listener.
So here is a review of the Soviet
Republics from a broadcast ing viewpoint,
exclusive oft he Russian Soviet Federated
Socialist Republic itse lf and Moldavia,
which has no shortwave out lets t hat we
know of, though apparently it did at one
time.
Some of the republics have some sort
of forei gn service on shortwave, usually
aired over the transmitters of Radio
Moscow -- and lik ely as not to be sited
outside of the particular republic. Even
so, these arc the most easily received
from a program standpoint, assuming one
can 0oct a fix on at least one current
frcqu cncy s in ce, like those of Radio
Moscow, th ey tend to cha nge with the
changing shortwave seasons.
Other repub lics use shortwave only for
national or local coverage and a rc thus
usua lly much ha rd e r to hear. So me transmitters arc used for Radio Moscow,
Radio Mayak, and R ad io Peace and
Progress, but these change frequently and
arc hard to keep up with. Even QSLs
from R adio Moscow which give the site
may not be accurate.
Speaking of QSLs, the DXcr will find
it is possible to obtain these for all of the
republics, allhough it is no e asy task.
Most , if not all of the republics can be
QSLcd directly, though it may take
severa l attempts for so me of them.
One thing we might watch for in the
future is an improved reply rate from
some or th ese tougher stat ions as republics gain more breathing room. English
language reports will usu ally work.

Washington qui et ly ho pes a ll three wi ll one

E sto nia, with its access to Finnis h TV

LATVIA
A popular front party now exists here,
too. L atvia was Christianized by the
Livonian Knig hts in the th irteenth cent ury
and has been dominated by the Poles,
Swedes, Russians, and Germans at various
times since. Like its two sister republics, it
enj oyed a few years of independence pri or
to W o rld War II.
Radio Riga's fo reign service is on in

Utility World
Larry Van Horn
P.O. Box 1088
Gretna, LA 70053-1088
The Big
Three
W hile I was going
through t he mail t his month,
regular MT logging contributo r Rod Pearson in St.
Augustine, Florida, gave me an idea for t his month's coment
section.
Rod writes, "Hey, Larry, how about telling all us Ute beginners
about some oood utility references we should have on the shelf
tha t will make t his uti lity listening hobby more enjoyable."
Okay, Rod, just like the old T V series use to say, "You asked
for it, you got it."
T he fi rst thina the beginner is going to find out is that no one
reference cover: it all. The sho rtwave broadcast listener might be
able to gel away with buying a copy of Passpon o r the Wodd
Radio TV Ila11dbook and pretty much stop at that.
But in the Ut il ity World, we have no such equivalent. I think
this is because listcnino to utility tra nsmissions is very dynamic
and cha nges occu r con~tantly. Due to the frequency of pu blication, these "standard references" just cannot keep up; it's that
dynamic.
Another reason I find that the "standard references" do not
cover it all is due to the perspective of the authors that write the
books. r call these "standurd references" the 'big three.'
Just which books do I list as the 'big th ree,' you say? Well,
here goes. T hese arc not listed in any o rder of prefe rence.
Ferre ll's Confident ial Frcqucncv List, 7t h Edit ion
Compiled by G eoff H ulligcy, 376 pages
Guide to Util itv Stations, 1989, 7th Edi tion
By Joerg Klingcnfuss, Approxi mately 494 pages
T he Shortwave Dircqnry, 5th Edition
By Bob Grove, 236 pages
So there they arc , the 'big three.' Ali these publ ica~ io ns hav~
been around for a wh ile and in my opinion, each has it s place 111
th e murket. The fi rst question the potential purchaser has to ask
himself is "What kind of utility monitoring am I interested in"?
Th is mig ht color your decision on buying any or all of the 'big
t hree.'
The Co11fiden1ial Frequency List, or CFL for sho rt, covers the
4-28 MHz spect rum in "by frequency" o rder. A lot of listeners
(me included) just spin the d ials. When I find somct t.1i 1 ~g .that
interests me, I stop, attempt to ID the channel, and if it is
something I really get interested in, hang around a while to get
the flavor of the conversation .
This part icular book is good for the general band scann?r, but,
alas, if you are looking for something in particular, forget it. Try
flipping through the book for a particular SAC cha n~cl, say
".Juliett e," and you will be there a while. The international call
sign cross reference added to this edition for the first t ime was a
nice extra touch, however.
The overa ll coverage or the CFL runs t he fu ll ga mbit of ut e
listen ing, but according to so me sources, inaccuracies have crept
into th is edition. St ill, for t he general band scanni ng bunch, th.is
isn't a bad publication.

ship list and address reference. Not only are ITU publications
expensive, but they are inaccurate. Consequently, I do not sec a
lot of folks actively verifying ships. The dean of ship QSLcrs has
Lo be Hank Holbrook. Maybe one of these days H ank will make
a guest appearance and tell us some of his secrets in QSLing
ships.
F or ship buffs, an even bigger mystery is Soviet ship
monitoring. As you can see from the pages of this column every
month, there are some hard core Soviet ship watchers. Sam
Ricks, John Biro, and T om Roach spend hours peering through
th e veil of Soviet secrecy listening and studying Soviet ship movements. They are assisted by a unique list of Soviet ship call signs
published by Jason Berri.
The Shorfl.vave Directo1y is available from Grove Enterprises.
The Shmtwave Directo1y, as well as the other titles, is available
from DX Radio Supply. In fact, utility monitors should probably
have a copy of DX Radio Supply's latest catalog. The cost is
quite reasonable - 50 cents in coin -- and it contains a very
interesting selection of books with plenty of utility titles to keep
your pocketbook busy. Drop them a note at:

Mr. U.K. also passes along the following information
concerning USAF station AJ E-Croughton, England. This station
still transmits AFRTS network feeds on various sidebands of its
MUX signal. This is about the on ly way to hear AFRTS on shortwave anymore.

MT Treasure Hunt #2
The response to ou r first Treasure Hunt was overwhelming.
tvly local post office doesn't use
my box anymore . They simply
throw bags of mail at me from
behind th e count er.
Before I officially ope n the
second hunt, everyone should understand tha t the first hunt is
closed. The correct a nswer for the April and May Treasure Hunt
was the cordless phone fr equency of 46.61.
Everyone that responded with the correct a nswers before May
3 1 received the fr equency allocation guide fo r various agencies
between 30 and 1200 MHz. The guide was neatly typed, reduced
to wallet si:le, and then enclosed in plastic. It's quite handy when
you're out in the field and need to reme mber the search limits for
a particular agency.
If you missed the first Treasure Hunt , or if you simply can't
live without one, the frequency guide is available for two dollars
and an SASE.
For the June and July Treasure Hunt, the folks at Naval Electronics have provided two HTS-! "Audio Boosters.'' I mentioned
the HTS-! Audio Booster in my January 1989 column. If you
missed that edition, the HTS-I is an amplified speake r that can
be carried right along with your scanner radio . Th e unit is
powe red by four internal AA batteries and it also incorporates an
internal shut-off feature. When there isn't a transmission taking
place, the HTS-1 shuts down to conserve the batteries. Since the
unit is portable, it can be used in the basement, garage, or
anyplace where increased audio is needed.
Having difficulty hearing you r scanner in mobile operation?
The HTS-1 can easily raise scanner communicat ions above
existing road noise. Better yet, the HTS-! can also be powered
from the vehicle's 12 volt battery.
Ready for the clues? Okay, here we go:

the gentleman sitting at the console?
What Is his name?
List his job title In three words.
Whal Is he writing?
Grab the January 1989 Issue and find the page number that featured
the HTS-1.
Go back to the March 1989 Issue. Turn to the page number that
you discovered In clue #5. What Is the title of !he column on that
page?

As with all Treasure Hunts, this o ne will also last two months - June and July. Bot h winne rs and a new Treasure Hunt will be
announced in the August issue. Good lu ck!
Frequency Exchange
From the dry lands of A rizona, John Moran wrote in to ask for
your help. John indicates tha t the Salt River Project (SRP)
serves Phoenix and the surrounding communities with irrigation
water and hydroelectric power. The dams are a long the Salt and
Verde rivers and the nood gates are cont roll ed by telemetry
signals. Can anyone share the telemetry frequen cies with J ohn?
For those readers interested in monitoring the activities of the
SRP, here arc a few of John's confirmed frequencies:
451.250
Irrigation operations
451.20
Irrigatio n construction and mainten ance crews
451.575
Power dispatch -- very active du ring power fa ilures.
In West Virginia, Kevin Angus re quested help in finding
frequencies for the foll owing stations:
WTAE Channel 4 News; KDKA Channel 2 News;
WPXl Channel 11 News
It seems that Kevin must have missed the October 1988 editio n
of Mo11it01i11g Times. In that particular issue, we feature d a n
article by John F. Combs titled "Broadcast ing's Secre t
Frequencies." The autho r provided a long list of broadcast
frequencies between the foll owing ranges: 450.05-450.925 a nd
455.05-455.925.
Crank up your scanner, Kevin, a nd search the airways for those
elusive frequencies. In the mea ntime, readers wh o already have
the above frequenci es can share them with Kevin and th ousands

Larry L. Ha rdie from Seattle, Washington, wrote in to say that he
has been hea ring cellula r conve rsations between these two

Piloting

Electronics
n one sense, Piloting with
Electronics by Luke
Melton is not a radio
book. But for anyone interested in monitoring longwave
beacons and other maritime
navigation aids, it is. In fact,
author Luke Melton's superbly
written and easy-to-understand
text gives real life to some
otherwise rather mundane
signals.
Imagine, if you will, sailing
along the Gulf Stream on a
compass heading of 325
degrees. It's midnight and
you're on watch. You tune in
the radio beacon on 322 kHz
at Government Cut in Miami
and you take a reading . The

FM / LW/SW) mini-portable,
boasting 36-station preset,
keypad, rotary, up/down
manual, scanner and meter
band direct access tuning.
Whichever you choose,
the information is shown on
an LCD display.
What makes the RF-865
one major step ahead of the
older RF-860 is the addition
of single sideband (SSB).
And while few broadcast
stations use SSB, you really
can't monitor utility or ham
transmissions without it.
The Panasonic RF-B65
retails for $279.95 and is
available from your favorite
radio dealer.

Changing
with the
times
For almost thirty years, the I3oeing 707
h;is provided tran sport ation for presidents
of the United States. For smaller airports,
!'residents Kennedy and J ohnson relied on
a Douglas VC-llSA "Liftmaster," a four
engine rrop. But when George Bush
christen s a new presidential aircraft this
year, he will usher into service a new type of
Air Force One -- a 13oeing 747.
Th e 747s were constructed at Boe ing
!\I ilitary Airplane's Wichita, Kansas, plant
under the watchfu l eyes of the U.S. Secret
Service and th e Air Force. A 250 million
dollar contra ct ca lled for two ou tfitt ed 747s,
each with 4,000 squa re feet of interior
space.
I3y compariso n, the 707 was a fly ing
phone booth with a mere 1,300 feet each.
The tripling of available interior space
provides room for amenit ies and equ ipment
that were limited o r not possib le with the
previous model.

BIG BROTHER IS
The new presidential aircraft will still
have the ECHO-FOX capability, however,
satellite communications are believed to be
the pr imary mode of communications with
the new presidential aircraft.

FACTORY DISTRIBUTORS OF :
As the accompanying photo shows, the
difference in technology between the 747
aircraft, which will take U.S. preside nts into
the 21st cent ury, and the Douglas VC-118A
of the early and mid 60s is staggering.
The 747 has seven bathrooms and
enough food and water to feed 70 passengers and a 23-mcmbcr crew for a week
without resupply. Small bunks a rc available
for the flight crew and Wh ite House staffers
and guests can get thei r rest on one of the
31 special "executive sleeper scats" have
been installed. The media, confined to fourteen nonsleepe r sca ts, will no doubt be even
crankier tha n usual.
On Air Fo rce One, rank clearly has its
privileges. T he president's suite, on the
main deck near the nose of the aircraft,
includes twin beds, a private bathroom with
shower and a vanity /desk. Adjacent to the
bedroom is t he President's executive office.
Equ ippe d with a full desk, it also serves as a
dinner table for two.
Not far from the office is a large conference/dining room. The table in the room
ca n sca t eight with six addit ional scats avai lable on couches. Maps, films, and videos
can be electrically displayed on the walls,
creating a perfect setting for this airborn
think tank .

A Refresher Course
Aviation Terminology
Th e So ny ICF-2010 has probably done
more to popularize aero monitoring than
anythi ng else. People who ordin ari ly
wou ldn't go to the expense of buying a
specialized aero radio now have the opportunity to sampl e both the 11 6 to 136 MHz
a nd the HF (shortwave) ae ro communications free of charge as part of the '2010's
frequency coverage.
Add to that all of the new Mo11iro1i11g

transmission."
SELCAL -- A four-tone selective calling
device utilized by aeronautical
enroute ground stat ions (such as
ARINC) t o contact flights which
have a SELCAL receiving unit on
board. It can be used on the
VHF a nd HF commu nicat ions
bands to alert a flight that a
ground station wants to talk with
them .
UHF -- Ultra-High Frequency. Used in
thi s co ntext, it refers to the
po rtion of the spect rum used for
military aviation communicat ions,
from 225 to 400 MHz.
VHF -- Very High Frequency.
Aeronautical communications are
found from 118.000 th rough
135.975; Navigation aids are
a llocated the port ion fr om 108.000
through 11 7.975.
Collision Avoidance
By December 30, 1991 , all commercial
a ircraft carrying more than 30 passengers
must be equipped with the Traffic A lert
and Co llision Avoidance System (TCASII). T hese packages work by picking up
signals from the position and altitude
reporti ng transponders carried by other
a ircraft.
American Airlines decided to use
the Allied-Signal Aerospace Company's
Bendix/King TCAS II system for a ll 600 of
it s aircraft. Piedmont Airlines and Southwest Airlines have installed sim il ar
systems.
Some airlines, however, arc protesting
the ruling stat ing tha t the system can issue
avoidance warnings only if the other
a ircraft is equipped wi th a t ransponde r as
not very ma ny sma ll ai rcra ft carry transponders. Thus, even if a heavily-loaded 747
were equipped with TCAS-II, it is no gua ra nt ee aga in st collision with a small Cessna.
The cost to th e a irlines for equipp ing
th e ir fleets with TCAS-11 is estimated to
be in th e ra nge of $806.3 million.

The QSO
As we all know, the QSO is the major
ru rpose of ham radio. The basic idea is to
establish con tac t with anot her amateur.
How long th a t co ntact is a nd w hat gets said
during it -- that ca n vary considerably '
The minimum QSO -- pro nounced
"QUE so" -- for so m e activ ities like rare DX
usually consists of an exchange of signal
report and ca ll le tt e rs. Let's say that th e
rare DX stat ion is o n the ai r and working
his way through a big pile up of hams
anxious to contact him. Hi s no rmal
response 10 your call will be "N3IK you're 5
and 9, over."
Your re spon se should be. "Roger, you
arc 5 and 9 (or whatever his report is) in
Pe nn sylvania . T hanks a nd 73." T hat's it.
The rare DX s tation wil l fr equently give
QS L inform at ion during the time he is o n
the a ir. Wait for it.
Add A Little
An oth er type of brief QSO is the con t est
exchange. While certain information must
be exchanged in order to have a bona fide
contact, remember that the purpose of the
contest is t o work in a s many conracts as
possible.
The normal Fi el d Day exchange, for
example, is call , signal report a nd ARRL
section. The stati on you work will respond
with you r ca ll , roger, signa l report, sect ion
a nd a request for confirnwt ion.
L et 's take a look al how this will sound
when it is all put together. Assume th at
N3 1K has ca lled CQ FD (field d ay) on CW
a nd is answered by WI34AA . NJ IK
respo nds: "WB4AA 579 E l'A K." In rurn ,
Wl34AA says: "N3IK QSL 599 NFLA
QS L?" Now N3J K says: "QSL 73 de N31K
QRZ?"
O ft en in t he heat o f a cont est, 73 may
not even be exchan ged. As soo n as N31K
confirms WB4AA's report by sending QSL
or roger, he sends QRZ which means he is
read y fo r the next conta ct so that any
s tation hearing th e exchange ca n sen d their
ca ll and make t he next contact with N3IK.
Different co ntests require different
excha nges. Some may require the parti cipa nt s to exchange a se ri a l numbe r and zone
or ITU reg io n. Others may ask you to
send the ycnr you were fir st licen sed or th e

The A R RL executive comm it tee did not take a position on t he

The study committee st ressed that its p roposal -- if adopted -wou ld not cause anyone currently holding a license to Jose

wit h a w ritt en examinat io n somewhat more comprehensive that the
present T echn icia n exam bu t with no requirement for a Morse

H olders wou ld be given all the privileges now available to Technicians above 30 MHz except that 2 meter operation would be

Afghanistan was found to be the most

HOW TO USE
THE PROPAGATION CHARTS
Propagation charts can be an invaluable aid to the DXer in
determining which frequencies are likely to be open at a
given time. To use the propagation charts, choose those
for your location (the are divided into east coast, midwest
and w est coast of North America). Then look for the one
most closely describing the geographic location of the
station you want to hear.
Once you've located the correct charts, look along the
horizontal axis of the graph for the time that you are
listening. The top line of the graph shows the Maximum
Useable Frequency [M UF] and the lower line the Lowest
Useable Frequency [LUF] as indicated on the vertical axis
of the graph.
While there are exceptions to every rule (especially those
regarding shortwave listening), you should find the charts
helpful in determining the b est times to listen for parti cu lar
regions of the world. Good luck!

What's Their Future?
The P eopl es Republic of C hina is the pla net's largest shortwave listening market, teeming with over a bi llion rad io listene rs.
T here, portables and tabletops that inclu de shortwave coverage
are the norm. Y ct, ironica lly, C hi nese world band radios -- so

Dut Chinese exporters aren't completely asleep. One model -the Co ugar H-88 compact portable -- does show up now and again

June 1989
We test the 22 1O
Si nce o ne of the main applications of a
hand-held frequency cou nter to scanner
listen ers is to sample radio frequencies from a
distance, we decided to sec just how well the
2210 wou ld perform tracking a 2.5-watt ha ndhc ld t ransceiver (my Yacsu FT23R).
Setting the counter's whip at about 18" for
quarter-wave resonance at high band, a nd
placing it in th e hand of my son, I was able to
wa lk out to approximately 200 feet before the
display beca me erratic whe n I keyed the
radio! Even with a transmitt e r output of a
fra cti on of a watt the counter gave a solid
indication at JOO feet!
Back in the radio room I adjusted my allband Kenwood TS440S transceiver to
transmit at vario us fr eque ncies from 1.8 to 29

Opto Electronics
CCB RF Detector
Field st re ngth mete rs, RF detectors,
sniffe rs, bug detectors -- all varia tio ns on a
common theme : You suspect (or know) that
there is a transmitting device nearby and you
want to fi nd it or measu re its output.
While a spectrum analyzer provides a
mo re sophisticated approach, there arc some
insta nces where an isolated signal can be
tracked simply by a sensitive detector. The
Optoelectronics CC I3 is o ne of these.
Available for only 599.95 (plus SS shipping) factory wired, the CCB can also be built
from an easy kjt (S79.95) for those with some
circuit board wiring experience. All it nee ds
arc a nine-volt alkaline battery for power and
a BNC-basc whip.
The sa me accesso ries for the 2210
frequency counte r reviewed earlier work with
the CCB, in cluding the whip and case. Additional ly, a pager-style belt clip may be
installed (5 19.95) at the time you o rder t he
detector.
Simply stated, the CCB RF decector
comprises a broadband, high-sensitivity preamplifier attached to a detector which feeds
its sensed volt age to a ten-segment L ED
bargraph. Since the display is loga rithmic, it
will respo nd initia lly to a very weak sig nal, but
takes a mu ch stronger one to d rive a ll
segm ents to the top.
Sensitivity throug hout the J-700 MHz
range is 1- 10 millivolts -- hot! Even up

don't expect it to detect a tiny, low-powered,
well-shielded oscillator like that in a
wristwatch; do n't expect it to indicate a small

New Age TV
n the year 1939, David
Sarnoff, president of the
Radio Corporation of
America (RCA), stood before
television cameras at the
opening of the New York
World's Fair and proclaimed
"the birth of an industry."
Back then, there were two
principal TV sets that
consumers could choose
from: a five-inch set for about
$200 and a "giant screen" 12incher for $500.
Today, fifty years later, TV
sets have come a long way
as well as gotten a lot more
popular. In the month of
February alone - the last
month for which figures are
available -- nearly a half
million stereo color TVs were
sold to dealers. And stereo
color TVs account for only a
little over 25% of all TVs
sold.
If you'd like one of
Panasonic's new Prism CTL3191S TVs -- complete with
"ultra advanced cabinet
design" and "slim, front-firing

Talking to
Your VCR
or the extraordinarily
dedicated - and well-todo -- TV viewer, the
perfect companion to the
CTL-3191S is Panasonic's
new PV-S4986 VCR.
The '4986 features a new
four video head system that
allows the machine to read
twice as much information as
other four head systems. In
the case of the new system,
every field of video information is read, as opposed to
every other field, so the
"step action' effect is eliminated from slow motion.
But what makes this unit
special is that you can
program it by telephone.
Using a standard touch-tone
phone, you punch in a twodigit access code. The VCR,
using a synthesized voice,
then talks you through
programming process. Once
you're done, the VCR
confirms, again by voice, all
of the instructions you
programmed into it.
The 'S4986 also incorporates an odd scheme
whereby you can program
the VCR using 'a programming sheet of dedicated bar

Searching for
Treasure
ew of us can resist the
allure of treasure
hunting -- instant riches
beyond our wildest dreams;
pirate treasure chests lying on
an exotic, sunny shore; a
western gunman's ill-gotten
stash in an abandoned
building; lost jewelry and
coins on a lonely beach.
The simplistic answer is,
of course, "All I need is a
good metal detector.' That
and countless hours of
careful research -- coupled
with considerable luck!
But how can one choose
a "good" metal detector?

You've probably heard the oft repeated
old-timer's antenna si ting rule: "The higher

good ru le. Th e fact is, I've given it right
here in "Antenna Topics," so you know it
must be true, right?

"The Magazine tor Antennas"
yet subject to the IMD interference. A nd so, as w ith ma ny things
in th is life, a t t im es we gain more by giving up some things than by
hanging on to a ll we ca n grab .
Figure 1 shows two ways to reduce the input from your antenna
at times when trying to rid yourself of spuri ous IMD interfe ren ce.
Th e "quick a nd dirty" potentiometer method probably works as
well for most in sta llatio ns as the more expensive a tt e nuatio n
switchbox . Many of today's better shortwave receivers have a n
attenu ation switchb ox set up somewhat like Figure lB bui lt right
int o the fro nt pa nel of the receiver.
A Different Approach
Another approach to reducing a signal st rcngth from th e
ant enna is to u se a different antenna. If you have several
ant e nnas, t ry th e m a ll and see w hich one seems to produce less
IMO interference for t he sign als you wa nt to monitor. Th e
difference in the directio na l characte ristics of the different
a nte nnas may help here.
A t t imes, a short an te nn a (perhaps 15 to 30 feet, or sometimes
eve n on down to the size o f rabbit-cars) is a good solut ion to the
proble m of overload by st ro ng stations.
But keep in m ind , IMO is n't a probl em in every rece iving situ atio n, and yo u will o nly profit fro m using a n attenu ator o r shorter
antenna where IMO is a problem. So, you should have the
a ttenuator or a nt en na switch where you can easily change th e
att en uator setting or swit ch back to the original antenna w hen
listening t o signa ls which have no problem from IMD inte rferen ce.

Radio Frequency Interference:
A growing threat
One of the most frustrating obstacles
confronting the listener is RFI - radio
frequency interference. Much of it comes from
incidental radiation from electronic devices,
mostly computerized, which utilize some sort of
signal-generating oscillator as pan of their
functional circuitry.
While there arc regu lations in place to
conrrol the proliferation of offensive devices, the
demand for low-cost high tech is so great that,
like drugs, hundreds -- thousands -- of tons of
uncertified microprocessor-controlled equipment
pour into this country fro m offshore
manufacturers every day.
Home computers, VCRs, facsimile machines,
office equipment, medical devices, analytical
instruments, security systems, remote control
devices -- the list seems endless. Manufacturers
will produce a product with the highest possible
profit margin and this usually translates into
poor shieldi ng and, consequently, radiation of
radio interference.
The Federal Communications Commission
issues citations -- thousands of citations - in an
effort to curb the invasion of uncont rolled
radiating devices.
Over the last two years the Commission
levied approximately 1500 separate citations
against such well-known merchandisers as J. C.
Penney, Cunis Mathis, Okidata, Hcwlcu-Packard,
Eastman Kodak, Casio, Tandy Corporation,
Yaesu, Mitsuhishi, Hyundai, Comm odore,
Southwestern Bell, Toshiba, Radio .Shack,
Telcvidco, Samsu ng, Spcnccrs Gifts, Hitachi,
Heath/Zenith, ITT, Peachtree Technology,
Midland, Sony, and such well known magazines
as Video Review, Sate/lire TV Weck, Pop11/ar
J\fec/1a11ics, TV G11ide, Pop11/ar Science, 011 Sat,
Sate/lire Orbir and many more.
Ju st what arc the major infractions'? For the
most part advertising or selling an uncertified
device (part 2.803). This doesn't necessa rily
mean th at the device is a fil thy radiator of
disruptive energy, just unceni fi~d as being in
compliance. When an infraction seems to be
