[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 50563, member: 126"] Re: Wireless measurement in Europe (legally) In a perfect world such disputes would be settled completely objectively by a competent authority but our world is not perfect or fair. The typical result is the engineering area with more political chips and/or chops wins. In the case of a tie, everybody loses, especially the customer. Here is one classic anecdote from my 15 years working at a company with thousands of finished goods that all had to play nice with each other. I recall hearing about a new speaker model that because of it's unusual load characteristic, managed to nudge a marginally stable powered head, into oscillation.
