[RFI] HDTV: Plasma vs LCD

[Cortland Richmond]

TV receivers are not tested for radiated emissions below 30 MHz.

 From FCC MP-3:
http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/measurement/mp3/mp3-1985.pdf

8.2 Electromagnetic field: 30 MHz to 1 GHz
Any equipment to which it is applicable shall be measured for
radiated radio emissions from all units, cables, power lines and
interconnecting wiring.

IMVH (yeah, right)O we could ask the FCC to revisit this standard, now 
that TV receivers have screens large enough to be significant radiators 
all on their own.
