[RVRC] interference potential on 442.250

[Alan Wolke]

Certainly the issue that needs to be checked is if their output de-senses
our machine's input.

perspective.This is not like W2FLA,on the same frequency.Ive been on the
440 machine quite a bit&haven't heard of any said interference.Why he chose
to locate his input/output frequencies close to ours is unknown.

all...73..Pete
