Definitely, this even can be a demand from regulation authority, depending on license conditions. This behavior may affect emergency call handling, and the least thing I want to see is interfering with 112/911! Besides, as a ham radio operator I simply consider it good practice taking a transmitter off-air when something dies. Even an unmodulated carrier can be accepted in this case, but not transmitting a BCCH without any meaning. > -- > Regards, > Alexander Chemeris. > CEO, Fairwaves LLC / ООО УмРадио > http://fairwaves.ru Ralph, dk5ras :-) -- Ralph A.
