Subject: [Alpha9500] Radio Spikes

All,


We have received a number of phone calls on the last alpha news letter about 
the abuse log and the spikes generated by radios.
Just to clear this up. The abuse log does not log the 2-3ms spikes out of 
the radios. We do not start the sample till the amp is keyed about 8-10 ms 
later. So please rest assured that the spikes are not being captured on the 
log. The same logging is done on the 87A. If you have spikes in your radio 
you will be fine for the abuse log. It is more of a tool for us to better 
understand amp operation.
