Try working as a broadcast engineer at a small TV station where you
run multiple cameras, the audio board, load film or tape and monitor the
TV and AM transmitter by yourself. I did this for a year, while in the
US army. I read Sci-Fi books and watched another TV station for
entertainment while doing all of the above while working from sign on to
sign off for at least seven days out of each two week period.

I used to produce radio and TV commercials, and I was in awe of the
so-called "engineers" who could run a monster board, several tape
machines and assorted sweetening equipment, all without missing a
beat.

That would be me. Technical Director NABET Group 7A.

Why? Some receivers use multiple L.O.s in the same band to receive
multiple channels at the same time, and its a simple task to mix
multiple audio sources, or CDs would sound even worse than they already
do. You don't need 24 speakers to listen to a 24 channel recording.

Huh?!?

$75.00 for a GE Superadio.What kind of Hashish are you on?

I just checked the prices of SOLD Superadio II's on eBay and the average price
works out to $89.98.

I have seen them go as high as $175.00 or so.

Like eBay reflects reality.

Any 1960 vintage 5 tube superhet will run circles around a
''Superradio''.

Hardly. The reason folks like the GE radio is that it has a tuned RF
stage to get good reception fed to a decent speaker so you get decent
sound. The 6 D cell batteries last days not hours a a sound level
that is usefull in a decent sized room. That's assuming you can't use
the power cord. The 5 tube superhet's were no better if as good for
reception but forget battery life. Most did not do FM.

Heh. I knew a guy who worked on CGI graphics in my
previous company who used to have a similar setup
in his cubicle (just swap the television for another
workstation). He used to quip, "It's not just a job,
it's a CAT scan."

These days I repair computers, design web sites and read the
newsgroups at the same time. No cats allowed around here, though.

I do have this around the house from time to time:

General Electric builds crap.

They used to build some very sensitive radios. I still have a "transistor
radio" type GE AM radio that rivals anything I've seen for sensitivity.
I've played with modifying the AGC and it made it even more sensitive.
Biggest problem it has is the small analog dial; very hard to tune small
increments.

A hour before the plane crash the General Electric turbine in the

So,which companies do you think build the best Aircraft Engines,Aircraft
Engines that have never failed,either in the Air or on the Ground?
Heck,I dont know.I dont know which are all of the companies nowdays
which build Aircraft Engines.I can think of a few of them though.I guess
I could look them up on the internet,but I can't see why I would want
to.Mechanical thingys do fail,sometimes,they are not perfect.I think
G.E.Aircraft Engines are A OK.
