Vic, Calibration vendor audits is a hot topic for many treg participants from accredited EMC laboratories.
By open discussion, valuable information would be made available also to passive treg readers. The spirit of treg was to post and publicly discuss issues. Only occasionally discussions were in privacy with later posted summary. The dilemma was always when to post results and cut further contributions. There were no complaints in similar cases with many on-going threads, sometimes with minimum contributions or with only humorous comments without contributing substance relative to the scope of this distribution list. All these contributions were welcomed and well received. We will live with it as long as postings are not edited. Best Regards, Mirko Matejic ---------- From: Victor L.

Jon did provide his email address so we don't have to sit through every lab that was audited and did or did not cut it. Seems there is room for defamation suits in this.
