Moved to the Engineering News section.

A ham radio group might be interested to decode wx alerts for a rpt OR you might could use it as a confidence monitor for customers EAS transmissions. As far as I know, it should decode and log (serial...) most data even if the new codes aren't recognized. If you are going to junk it, I will pay sh...

Is this box worth anything to anyone?

I know it's not Cap Compliant.

I also know I don't want it on my shelf anymore.

100% on the Sage. Easy to program , use, etc. They are also charging for the new TLS certificate, but it's only like $300.

Any old-school "fishbone" antenna is always your best bet unless you are UHF-only. Then a four bay bow tie will win just about every time. The "new" antenna designs are really bad. I tried one of the "Leaf" antennas when they came out and a simple UHF loop did a better job. I want to +1 this. I am ...

I've been dealing with Gates and no issues over the last two months.

Of course, because it will be brought up.

Everyone knows that KCET's Grass Valley 1600-M2 switcher destroyed Alderaan.

Try contacting Keith at Arbitron 667-786-4572. Nice guy, great to work with....he should be able to help.

Thanks Fossil. As always, you "da man". Keith is sending us a replacement unit.

Annnnd I think we're done.

Just a reminder about political posts here. While this post wasn't initially, it is "on the edge", and can go in the wrong direction too easily, so it's closed.

Thanks.

Another senior moment......get the serial number off the rear of the encoder, along with the model number. That will help speed up the process of determining if it is theirs, or yours. Fossil Oh I had already planned that. Everyone wants that info when you call. I appreciate your help, and will let...

So our Nielsen PPM monitor at the college did not like being unplugged and moved from rack to rack. It's now stuck in a boot loop. I know very little about this box or the PPM encoders (which are both missing their keys). Is this box owned by Nielsen? Do I contact them on it or do I need to contact ...

For you who would like the full story I have attached the files from the FCC's website. When I was growing up in Daytona Beach this was a popular radio station programmed very well. It's main competitor was another local channel on 1450 kHz. When I visited DB for my 50th HS reunion I was saddened b...

Two words. Hollywood Exchange.
Spot from circa 1998.

Started in bars/tone.

The trick to lip synching during the view (without losing your lunch!) is to do it to whoever the guest is. They usually allow them longer speaking times.
