I think that also is a valid belief Andy. As for the latter, I know how to monitor that digital data stream for distortions that can kill your range, but couldn't begin to build that encoder. That has all taken place since I retired. Building a monochrome crt is a piece of cake, but theres a huge amount of precision involved in the laying of the phosphor dots or stripes on the back face of the screen in the case of a trinitron tube, that few in the world still have working gear to make those.
