Haim Geva of Tadiran asks: "Hello everybody It's nice to see our product detailed description from third body. How did he got our equipment at his office?"
Well I never! I thought my letter was clear; however, I'm sorry if I left anything open to misunderstanding. Once again: The Tadiran equipment to which I was referring is a line doubling apparatus that the telephone company (Bezeq) installs on the subscriber's premises. The telephone company installed this apparatus in our office when we requested an additional telephone line a couple of years ago! Nothing more sinister than that! As you can see from my previous letter, the apparent on-hook DC resistance presented by the Bezeq-installed equipment is given by myself as a result of a measurement that I made on the telephone line. The only reason I troubled to make this measurement is that -- while I was trying out subscribers' equipment -- it appeared that the telephone line was behaving in a way that I would not generally expect. Rest assured that I did not tamper with the device itself, or seek further information from any other source. I personally do not agree that my statement regarding the results of a DC line measurement constitutes "a detailed description" of your product. I hope that this is now crystal clear. Incidentally, another of these devices was also installed by Bezeq at my home address. Undoubtedly, many Israelis have line doublers on their premises, all put there perfectly innocently by Bezeq. I wish to make one further important point: the sole purpose for my original message on this subject was to attempt to justify the requirements stated in BAPT 223 ZV 5 and TBR 21 relating to the behavior of subscribers' terminal equipment at low DC currents, because other TREG members have asked about this. Naturally, in case this was not already clear, I was not claiming that the Bezeq-installed Tadiran apparatus was in any way defective. I need to mention that we have enjoyed a long and very happy relationship with Tadiran in several fields, and it seems that my completely innocent mention of Bezeq-supplied equipment that happened to be manufactured by Tadiran, raised some eyebrows. It is truly amazing to see just how easy it can be to create unease, and I do hope that this note puts to rest any concerns that you might have. If this response is fully understood, then it would be very much appreciated if you will send a short note to that effect, to all the recipients of your message. I am asking you to do this because I'm afraid your message seems to imply improper behavior on my part, and I am perfectly sure that this was not your intention. Warmest regards to you Haim, to Amos Maor, and to all our other good friends at Tadiran.
