<DIV> I done an RF test with our scanner the other day with my Transmitter in my aluminum case and still got full signal, when I worked for Shell Research I had to make brass screen mesh to keep RF for equipment in the labs, I also figured that the metal transmitter cases would stop RF the probably the biggest thing they do is you have to have the antenna collapsed or with JR removed so that alone would probably stop from killing another plane, note I didn't try to do a range check with the scanner so that I'm sure would be reduce the signal also.</DIV>

<DIV>Okay Thanks and good to know.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On the Aluminum case, well I think you figured out the answer already. Also, a TX left on inside the case does no harm, at least not anymore I don't believe. There was a time when the output would get overloaded and could have burned out the RF emitting circuitry when the antenna was left off the TX, but I doubt that's the case anymore. Oddino should jump in here and educate us all.</DIV>

<DIV>Matt,</DIV>
<DIV> Ref, "Hey BTW, are you the EVL1??" Sure, It is still me :-)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My regular e-mail account needs to be kept as clear as possible for several activities and promotional programs with which I am involved. I made a separate account for Michelle that worked out good for both of us.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had dropped off the list purely because of the volume and then I subscribed again. (People always sent me the "hot" items anyway". that created its own volume.) When I came back the volume was just as huge again. So I decided to create a new dedicated account primarily for the discussion list and pattern stuff. It works just great. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I can instantly sort the messages by "subject" without accidentally giving any of my other e-mails a low priority. I can also let it go a day or two and not have screenfulls of messages to plough though looking for business related content. I also have scheme of folders that are easier to go through in the new account.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The new account is <A title=mailto:pattern4u@comcast.net href="mailto:pattern4u@comcast.net">pattern4u@comcast.net</A> with my never relinquished mission of "<STRONG><EM>Grow Pattern</EM></STRONG>" as my readable name</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BTW - I was asking originally about my carry case for my radio. Many think that their radio can do harm if left switched-on inside of an aluminum transmitter carry case.</DIV>
