Sound like the pilot was a little late with the round-out during the previous decent. Perhaps understandable given the approach. :-) LOL ! On one of many trips to Bombay / Mumbai on landing it's wasn't the usual BA 'greaser' (i.e. you hardly notice the touchdown). It wasn't a BAD landing, just not quite their usual standard. Shortly after the F.O. came on the PA to apologise on account of them having to avoid a dog crossing the runway ! Crazy country. p.s. I've always found BA's cabin crew great too. And avoid Air India. 'Palace in the skies' my arse! They have the sulkiest cabin crew I've ever come across bar possibly Air France. Equal score actually I'd say. Lufthansa scores for sheer Germanic efficiency and consistency. Swissair (as was) scores for the most beautiful member of cabin crew who relayed my request to the Captain and I got to stay awhile on the flight deck of a 747-300 and learnt a few things from him. And then there was the flirt from a Easyjet 'air hostess'. That brightens your day up too. Graham |

May not be much policed these days, but still illegal. It's back to the Wild West here in many respects, and violations not involving the female breast or words learned in elementary school are ignored in the interest of Free Enterprise. Such is life. Blaming tools for business decisions is misplaced. Much thanks, as always, Chris Hornbeck |

Funnily enough we've got four Band 1 transmitters , yes those frequencies are still used, and the cores in one have all disintegrated away whereas in the other their fine all about the same age!.. What do they transmit? David. Their used for Audio links either Mono or Stereo further info here... http://www.jfmg.co.uk/pages/freq/ground/40_100mhz.htm -- Tony Sayer |

I just make the artillery; I don't have any say in how broadcasters choose to set it up! Just how smart are the Optimods these days ? I assume they're DSP based now (oh you said so) and probably for some time. They're pretty smart :-). All of the manuals are available for free download from ftp.orban.com, and these provide detailed descriptions of their features. Our current top of the line processors are the 8500 for FM, the 9400 for AM, the 6300 for digital media, and the 8585 for surround. (The 8585 manual is coming soon; the otehr manuals are currently available.) I always though your objective was to reduce to the minimum any unwanted audible artifacts through multiple band processing and the like.. Yes. One can use a special form of multiband processing (with coupled bands that only uncouple when necessary to prevent audible spectral gain intermodulation) for protection limiting. To process for loudness, one really needs to start with multiband processing and complement it with various peak limiting tricks like distortion- cancelled clipping, where the clipping distortion is removed in some frequency bands. The nice side effect of doing such complex loudness processing is that when backed off to give a more "purist" sound, the processor causes far fewer audible artifacts than a simpler processor would. |
