I'm not at all saying we should use a talkie, but I do marvel at the fact
they permit use of a laptop. Every computer i've owned generates rf noise
to the point the fm broadcast band is almost unuseable. Anything with a
microprocessor can generate a lot of noise. Remember the old t r s
80s. One of the best signal generaters around, as long as you wanted to
cover the whole spectrum... I was kidding a radio shack owner once and
clled them trash 80s, and he just laughed and said he called them cash
80s.
I read once of a case where a passenger used a cd walkman and when he
changed tracks the thing generated some rf signal that caused the flaps to
lower.
