Tim: >> My guess, "Technical Support List," but I hate having to guess at >> abbreviations and jargon. g: > was that a guess or actually a memory recall? ;) Educated guess. It seemed the likely answer, and I'm used to unexplained acronyms all over the place in my fields of work (electronics and video production). But every now and them something stumps me. Since we're already off topic, and there's probably an old radio engineer on this list, I'll put forward my own OT, hopefully without upsetting anybody: I'm still stumped by three acronyms found on an old radio mixing desk, though. NOL, ROL, and POL found on the attenuator pad on the meter bridge. NOL set the meter with the standard attenuation, 0VU equals +8dBm (yes, it's that old that it's +8 and genuinely uses dBm). ROL attenuates it by 8dB, so 0VU is at +16dBM. POL attenuates it by 12dB, for 0VU at +20dBm. I can only guess at that the abbreviations might stand for, as the service manual makes no mention of them. NOL may be normal output level, ROL could be reserve output level, and POL peak output levels. But I don't really know. Nor do I know what maximum transmission levels the station would have set back in the late 1960s, or early 1970s, in Australia, to confirm it that way, either. -- All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
