Rechargeable are good too, but you can stash stores or these to use at a later date. Used to see C and D battery adaptors on the 'bay in the past. Didn't look this evening.

IEEE forming balloting group on BPL EMC standard Posted by: "Hare, Ed W1RFI" w1rfi@arrl.org w1rfi Fri Feb 13, 2009 9:33 am (PST) http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2009/02/13/10651/?nc=1 Amateurs who are IEEE members can help ensure that radiocommunications interests are well represented as this IEEE BPL EMC standard goes to ballot. If you are also a member of the IEEE Standards Assocation, you can join the balloting group for free. If you are not an SA member, you can join for a relatively modest fee and help ballot this, or any other, IEEE standard. Please forward this as you can. Thanks. Ed Hare, W1RFI ARRL - The national association for Amateur Radio ARRL Laboratory Manager 225 Main St Newington, CT 06111 Tel: 860-594-0318 Internet: W1RFI@arrl.org Web: http://www.arrl.org/ Member: ASC C63 EMC Committee Chairman: Subcommittee 5, Immunity Chairman: Ad hoc BPL Working Group Member: IEEE P1775 BPL EMC Committee Member: IEEE, Standards Association, Electromagnetic Compatibility Society Member: ICES SCC-28 RF Safety Member/Secretary: IEEE EMC Society Standards Development Committee Chairman, BPL Study Project Member: Society of Automotive Engineers EMC/EMR Committee Board of Directors: QRP Amateur Radio Club International ............................................ ==> IEEE TO FORM BALLOTING GROUP ON BPL EMC STANDARD The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has been developing standards for Broadband over Power Line (BPL) use and deployment. According to ARRL Lab Manager and IEEE member, there are three IEEE standards in progress at this time. The first, P1675 , covers installation and safety practices and should be published soon. The second, P1901 , is focused mostly on BPL protocols and interoperability between various BPL systems. ARRL has no direct interest in either of these standards. The third standard -- P1775 -- covers the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) aspects of BPL emissions testing and the immunity of BPL systems. ARRL Lab Manager Ed Hare, W1RFI, as a member of the IEEE's P1775 BPL EMC Standards Working Group, has participated in the development of this standard from the very first meeting held in Denver, Colorado in 2004. "The IEEE Working Group developing the standard is heavily dominated by the BPL industry and its electric-utility and EMC testing partners," Hare noted. "The ARRL was the only radiocommunications stakeholder that regularly attended meetings. Although I did make a number of contributions to the standard that were included, most of the major points I made about what was needed in an EMC standard to achieve compatibility with licensed radio services were voted down by the Working Group. The end result does not offer any real protection to Amateur Radio, despite progress made in the industry in that direction elsewhere." Hare said that the major problem with the emissions testing part of this standard is that it offers little more than a parroting of the FCC rules on how to make measurements: "The test methods in this standard are overly complex and incomplete at the same time. By strongly parroting the FCC rules, the standard is promoting regulations that do not serve well to provide good test methods that enable BPL while protecting licensed services." Hare said that the risk to having an international industry standard that relies heavily on FCC regulations will increase the likelihood that these regulations will be adopted by other countries. Hare has prepared a report that outlines other problems he sees in the present draft of the standard. The IEEE has announced that the P1775 standard is ready for ballot. Hare explained that the balloting process is not only a vote, but it is part of the process to develop standards. "Stakeholders that cannot attend the meetings that develop these standards can join the balloting pool," Hare said. "The IEEE requires that 75 percent of the balloting pool vote to approve the standard. Even if it passes, the IEEE requires that an attempt be made to resolve all negative ballots. The ballot is not as much a vote as it is an important part of ensuring that all interests are represented in an IEEE standard." ARRL encourages those with a radio interest to join the IEEE balloting pool prior to February 22, 2009. Many amateurs are IEEE members; if they are also members of the IEEE Standards Association, they are able to ballot on IEEE standards at no cost. Hare reiterated that ARRL is not opposed to the development of BPL standards, but we realize that the best standards include the interests of all stakeholders. "There are a lot of good parts of this standard," Hare explained, "but it is lacking in areas that would make it a useful tool with good test methods and practices that offer significant protection to licensed radio services. Joining the balloting pool is the best way that amateurs can help develop a more useful and inclusive standard." ------------------------------ Message-ID: <88981EF4FDF043FA9EE050FAD5354E26@cs.unc.edu> From: "Nick England" To: Old Tube Radios Subject: Navy versions of Collins receivers Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2009 00:42:09 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The US Navy evidently acquired versions of Collins 51J-1, 51J-2, 51J-3, 51J-4, and 75A-4 receivers.

But the reverse question would be answered Yes only if the fuse was in a 120 volt circuit. If it were in a 240 volt circuit, the answer would be No. Fuses have both a current and a voltage rating. The current rating is of course how much current it will carry more or less forever. The voltage rating only becomes important if the current exceeds the fuses rated current and the fuse blows. When the fuse blows, there will be an arc generated inside the fuse. If the voltage rating of the fuse is higher than the arc voltage, the arc will quickly extinguish (and the equipment will stop doing whatever it was doing). If the arc voltage is significantaly higher than the fuse's voltage rating, the arc may be sustained, current will not be interrupted immediately to the equipment, and likely the fuse holder will burn up. You should, for example, never use an 8AG aircraft fuse in a 120 or 240 volt AC circuit because the fuse is only rated at 32 VDC. And you should never use a 250 volt rated fuse in a 1000 VDC circuit.
