Re: [TenTec] new emissions rules

Thanks for the info regarding paritition noise as it applies to solid state 
devices I was under the false impression that partition noise was generated 
only by boat anchors!  Since Ten Tec is primarily solid state (except for 
amps) their equipment was partition noise free.
