I have always wanted to buy and use the Ramsey 'Passive Airband Monitor' on a plane trip
http://www.ramseyelectronics.com/cgi-bin/commerce.exe?preadd=action&key=ABM1 but I don't think I'd ever be able to successfully explain the finer points of the local oscillator-free design to the flight crew, and probably end up getting ejected from the flight for not complying with their instructions to turn it off during takeoff...

He brings up some good points regarding the EMI properties of various gadgets. It's also interesting how he and other non-EMCers think on the whole subject. Has anyone on this list studied the emissions characteristics ("on" versus sleep mode) for various portable electronic products? I'd love to not be hassled when using my Bose headphones. http://gizmodo.com/5366128/giz-explain -how-to-fix-the-airlines-stupid-portable-gadget-rules Regards, Ken ---------------------------------------------- Wyatt Technical Services, LLC 56 Aspen Dr. Woodland Park, CO 80863 Email: [email protected] Web: www.emc-seminars.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/kennethwyatt (719) 310-5418 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
