Well, they are NOT supposed to, at least in Europe. This is over-zealous. It is required to make a reasonable attempt to maximize emissions under the restrictions imposed by the relevant standard, but an officious search for 'worst-worst-worst' conditions is not only not required, it is beyond the legal requirements. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. Maybe that's why I like military work. I like to think that some pilot, hiding under a cow in Bosnia with a Cubic beacon in his hand, is very happy that I explored every worst-case EMC condition. I try to keep in mind that, despite a program manager paying the bill, my real customer is that pilot.
