Years ago my young son bought one of those scooters with his own
hard-earned money, and the battery charger was a noisy mess just as you
found. I threw it away and build a lead-acid charger for the scooter.
It had the extra benefit of being able to charge the battery faster,
then float. He
Do any of you guys have any idea as to how many Field Engineers the
FCC employs? NOT many! The last time I checked, they had a grand
total of TWO for the southeast United States. Out of Atlanta.
Do you really think they are going to go out and get involved with
this when they have all of

Steve,
The switch-mode chargers used for scooters are notoriously noisy. I had a
similar issue with the neighbor to the side of me. These supplies offer
little or no common-mode filtering between the
It can be quite interesting approaching someone who innocently is a source of
interference.
Years ago when I worked in two-way we had a problem with interference on the
input of a customers repeater.
A signal would come and go, sounded like TV raster. Was strong enough to take
out the
Field enforcement activity by the FCC in my field (broadcasting) is
very low.
In my fight against modern traffic light system interference I was able
to get a field engineer to visit - and he confirmed the signals were
far beyond Part 15 and were indeed causing interference - but he was

Hi Jon,
Thanks for the tip! I had to go look and make sure but my player is an
Edison.. I bought it in Iowa in 1976 but it is not in pristine shape. The
lid needs work and the rest could just use refinishing. Someone later in
this thread mention the volume you could get from one of these
Hi Jack,
I ran into a fellow about 15 years ago that when I asked him about having
any thick records. He said used to but all are gone. I was about to walk
away then he added we used them for target practice Sad.

When I was a youngster my friend Paul had an old 78 player and a pile of
records, however his favourite was Jerry Lee Lewis 'Great balls of fire' he
used to play this on the old wind up player at around 08.00 in the morning
every day for months until it wore out, you could hear this echoing
George,
I remember borrowing a buddy's high-end turntable
and setting it to 80 RPM back in the 70's.
Made some fairly good copies onto reel to reel.
A modern? stereo stylus seemed to track fine, and
you could probably record at 78(2.5% slow).

I wouldn't count on the ARRgghhL doing anything to help you other than
send you a few pamphlets. A good friend of mine went through the Neighbors
complaint about ham radio in their stereo routine. Every time he lit off
his T-368, he would get phone calls. It got so bad that it
If this is a sign of what we can expect in the way of FCC policy (and
I hope it is not) then the message I get is every man for himself and
if the noise floor raises, then we have to raise our signal strength
along with it in various ways such as increasing ERP and improving S/N
ratio on rx. I do
Mike, glad to read one account of the FCC doing something. I have
always thought that I'd welcome a visit from them. I have nothing to
fear. I know I'm linear, clean (including 2nd harmonic), and under 1.5
kw. AND, I imagine they'd have some fancy super dooper analytical
gear with them so I'd
Not exactly AM radio stuff but it sort of falls in the category of old
technology meets the new world.
If the list moderator wants to kill this I will certainly understand. We
could discuss it separately.
I use a modern turntable with 33/45 RPM settings some of the real new TT's
do have 78RPM
Another very good free program is called Audiograbber.
I use it to create mp3 files directly.

$300 - a little expensive but pretty good.
Actually Mike I found this not to be the case. Both Ed Hare and Mike Gubber
where not only a big help in my case, but offered to help me take it to the
next level as I was about to give up on Ham Radio due to the bad scooter
charger. Maybe I was lucky?
