Subject: Re: [TenTec] OT: RFI from Plasma TV?
Keep in mind that all TV's sold are required to meet strict conditions of
both radiated and conducted types of emissions. I've previously been
involved with this type of testing and know sometimes it's tough to make
the
numbers.
What percentage of electronics sent to this country is tested by someone
here? Or are we
taking the word of the Chinese testers or the company with the contract
to build there?
Seems that the tip of the iceberg has melted on toys, food and other
imports that come
from China as to quality etc. And also what is actually being inspected
here by our own
inspectors, what few there are.
Almost every piece of electronic gear I have bought made in China in the
past few years
has caused interference of some type, either to my ham radio or even to
the TV itself.
Having worked with the Chinese since the late 80's and even lived
there, I can tell you
for a fact its much worse than what you can imagine. So dont expect
everything coming
from there to be compliant with any US standard, the only way is if the
American
contractor is standing there overlooking all processes. And some do..
most dont.
