[TenTec] 40M Band Sweeps

[Stuart Rohre]

Thanks Kevin for clarifying the actual transmission of ALE equipment during 
acquisition of a frequency.

Another thought crossed my mind, what about the RF emanations of Plasma 
TV's?  Is that in the form of a frequency sweep?   Plasma TV's that hams I 
know, bought, were returned forthwith to the stores once the ham tried to 
listen to his receiver with the TV on.

There was a general blanking of all bands in the same house.  But, maybe at 
a distance, the Plasma device sounds like a sweep?

Has anyone with this problem sent recordings to the ARRL?  I would suggest 
contacting Ed Hare there, who is their BPL point man, and expert on many RFI 
issues.
