You have been called on this, so tell us what YOU think this term means
and maybe why you chose to use it. Looks to me like a Freudian slip.

Don't be coy. What word do you think is misspelled here and is the
misspelling germane to the discussion? The only reason I pointed to your
error was the ambiguity- either it was just misspelling or else following
words were left out of the sentence (and meaning lost).

>2) I prefer Pragmatic thank you.

Your 'guarantee' is pure nonsense. 'Presumptuous' would be much more like
it.

>3) If you didn't catch the basic premises, these are stock radios. 

Nonsense. There are several models of both rigs all with significant
differences. On top of that there are any number of modifications that
have proven sucessful over time.

Proving once again you have no idea what you are talking about. Best
recompute that PEP. 'Show' us your math.

I did not care for your insulting characterisations, especially when you
avoid justifying them and they are 180 degrees off (!). Trolls need to be
dealt with point-by-point, sorry.

All you can do is gainsay. Not good enough.

The AM power issue is full of ambiguities and inconsistencies as
delineated by the FCC. Probably by design. So if you can get a grasp of
the technicalities involved by close reading this xth-instance rehashing,
and then interpret the rules from a singular viewpoint, you can sally
forth as a volunteer OO and ride herd on AMers everywhere. Maybe get you
an All-States OO certificate for your wall.
