1) I don't really have the time.
2) According to the local FCC folk (I checked), UNLESS they're getting into
some "real" device, instead of just a "part 15" device, the FCC could
care less.
If you want some interesting reading sometime, read the Part 15 rules about
things like portable phones and baby monitors (and garage door openers, and
the new RF remote light controllers from X10 and, and....). Basically,
it says that the device "must accept" interference from any and all other
sources, and that if a part 15 device is interfering with another
device, it's the part 15 device's problem.
However, I do happen to know a guy who's fairly high up in the McCaw
organization (he's in a class I'm attending), and if I see him again,
I'll probably just mention it in passing.

Does anyone have a list of mods for the 727? If so would you please
email it to me. Thanks. If there is interest, I'll post the list to the net.

I don't think so. The radio act (of 1934 ?) was very specific about that. I'm sure you
may recieve, and evaluate any signal you wish with no obligation. THEY HAVE AN
OBLIGATION TO SECURE THIER OWN SERVICE from non-paying customers. Even if this
sutuation changes, I refuse to give up such a right. I accept, however, that one may
need a license to PERCHASE such detecting equipment, but I will design and build what
ever I please.

Hi,
A while back someone posted info for mods for the Pro 34. My results
differ from
what was expected. I wanted to restore the 66-88 MHZ band. (Why?, so I
could hear
if someone was using an R.C. plane on the same channel as my R.C. plane)
Adding
Diode 9 restored 68-88 (thats right 68 not 66). However I lost 30-54.
Also, even though
the display indicated 68-88 I don't think my scanner was actually
recieving anything.
I turned on my R.C. and it didn't pick it up. I have a PRO 2005 and it
picks up the R.C. in
all modes: AM, NFM, WFM. (The R.C. transmits in AM). I removed Diode 9.
The Cellular coverage restoration works fine
The Author talks about a Diode 13, I believe he was confused here. He
states Diode 13
is not installed, but it is. The problem is that he saw the number 13 near
the
diode bank 9 thru 12. The number 13 is the pin number for the I.C. near
by. All for
corners of the I.C. have the pin numbers silk screened on the board.
I played with Diode 12, and didn't figure out its purpose.
Anyone else care to comment??
BTW I'm I posting to the right group, or should I be posting the shortwave
group??? I
don't really see a difference between the two.

I read in the paper this morning that a judge had stated that videotaping of a
sex act without the knowledge of the other is a violation of privacy, since
the sex act is considered an act of communication.
I didn't read the article too well, since I don't videotape my activities (I
can get a replay any time ;) ).

Using a cordless phone or a cellular phone is like having a conversation at the
top of your lungs with your neighbor down the street and then getting
pissed because others heard the conversation. The constitution does
not provide for the protection of those who insist on doing stupid things.
If I heard the conversation I suppose the loud mouth would have insisted that
I close my doors and windows where upon I would have suggested that the real
solution would have been for him to keep his mouth closed.
By the way, I missed the posting that gave the freqs. for security in
stores. Could someone repost these for me.
thanks

>Governments have the unlimited right, which they have exercised in the past
I'm not sure how to reply to this statement without becoming inflamatory,
lets just go with: The above opinion depends a whole bunch upon your
philosophy of politics, governments, where rights come from in the first
place (which is actually a religious issue (oops, here come the flames!)),
and other philosophical/religious/political presuppositions you may have.
Rusty omitted the beginning of my article, where I explained that I
didn't think that the "right to receive" was granted by the Constitution
or by the Act of '34. A few people sent reasoned, reasonable replies
explaining why they thought those documents DID guarantee them a right
to receive; I respect those opinions and I hereby thank the people who
sent them.
On the other hand, many flamers sent messages of the form "I can do
anything I want with radio waves on my property!"; these people aren't
about to convince me (or their congressmen) that they have such rights
simply because of the exclamatory nature of their sentences.
I didn't and don't want to provoke a philosophical discussion. If you
can point to a "right to receive" based on a reasonable understanding of
current law, I'm interested; please quote chapter and verse. If your
belief in a "right to receive" is based on your personal belief in
anarchy or communism or someotherism, or because you think you know what
Thomas Jefferson would have thought, or because of the provisions of
English property law of the thirteenth century, I think you're just
flaming and I'll delete your message as quickly as I can.
I do not believe that the government has unlimited rights. The above
statement would indicate that Ed does (but then, he may not).
My statement that governments have unlimited rights in this area is a
statement of fact about how governments have acted and continue to act,
not a declaration of philosophy. I have carefully avoided posting my
opinion of the government and its "rights", under the assumption that
everybody out there is as uninterested in my opinion as I am
uninterested in theirs.
