Hue -I will have to dig ours out  putting   the   peripherals  along  with 
it in a display like a tty  and    field  phones   would  make it   
interesting... any good material online  detailing  all of   this!? We have had  
this   since the 80's     Ed#

Hue - yes...   the  fellow I  got  ours  from  was pondering using  it  for 
a 
bootleg  FM...
are  you saying the kids  got  busted!?!

-What happens in these cases is the  bootlegger enjoys too much success and 
word
gets around and finally  gets to the FCC. Yes, they were warned to shut 
down. 
I think
in those  days, fines or confiscations were hardly ever applied. Possibly 
because  the
warning and order to desist always worked.
There were some young  fellows who bought the former Pacific N'West Bell 
marine
telephone AM  transmitter, Seattle 2522 kc/s,  when AM went away at the end 
of  1976.
They modified it to 880 kc/s and to work thru the power lines -  "carrier 
current" - and
modified it also for carrier control so they  could do the output 
measurements with
no modulation and the numbers  would be very small. I heard them every day 
at 
about
3 miles. Their  downfall came when they began soliciting local businesses 
to  
buy
advertising on the station and word got back to FCC.    -Hue
