*Great call about the AM Radio Mike. I also use them to test Remote
Controls, Switched Mode Power Supplies and to track down Bad Transformers
on Power Poles. Just hold your TV Remote close to a Portable AM Radio which
is on and tuned to no station, and press any button. Do the same thing with
a Switched Mode ( switcher supply ) for your other equipment. My Power
Supply for the Cable Router will take out AM Radio Stations from 2 feet
away. ( I need to cure that ) *
