Audio2000s Adc2117 5ft. RCA Audio Signal Cable

Audio2000s Adc2117 5ft. RCA Audio Signal Cable

  • The conductor is stranded with silver-plated PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process) copper wire for signal transmission fidelity.
  • The conductor is coated with foamed PE for a insulation layer with low capacitance.
  • A conductive PVC layer achieves a 100% shielding coverage which prevents both EMI and noises from mechanic vibration and twist.
  • Highly pure oxygen-free copper (OFC) is braided as shield to achieve a shielding coverage greater than 95%.
  • RCA plugs of highly pure copper enhances signal stability to achieve low VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio), less than 1.1 at 200MHz.

QRP Contact Using Yaesu 817ND

I am still fascinated whenever using low radio wattage to make contacts. This video shows a radio contact between Alabama and Virginia using 5 watts from a Yaesu 817ND from Ditto Landing in Huntsville, AL on September 10, 2009. Antenna used was a Comet RS 730 on the side-door of my 2001 Sonoma pickup.

Does_receiving_a_call_interfere_wiith_Intoxilyzer.mpg

Does receiving a cell phone call interfere with Intoxilyzer 5000 breath tests? Must a cell phone be transmitting to cause radio frequency interference to an evidentiary breath test instrument? Some experts opine that police radios and cell phones are only a problem if there is a TRANSMISSION from the breath room. This video suggests otherwise. This instrument is in need of maintenance. More research is required to determine if approved instruments are reliable when cell phones are permitted in the breath room. Range Exceeded means that the instrument was reading apparent BrAC beyond its capabilities. Invalid Sample means the instrument thought it was seeing mouth alcohol effect caused by recent consumption of alcohol. Almost any error message can erroneously be caused by RFI.
