[comp.dcom.telecom] Phoneline Levels, Studio Interfaces in E. Europe

antenna@well.uucp (Robert Horvitz) (04/02/91)

I am writing a pamphlet describing how to build a low-cost, low-power
radio station under conditions prevalent in Central/Eastern Europe.
It will be translated and distributed in those countries.
 
Many applicants for radio licenses in the post-communist countries are
particularly interested in airing telephone talk shows.  So my
question to TELECOMDigest readers is:
 
     Do Eastern Europe telephone systems operate at the same
     line levels as in the US?
 
     Can anyone recommend a particular telephone interface
     unit that combines low cost with the ability to handle
     noisy, unstable phonelines?
 
Equipment specs and source addresses with phone, fax and telex numbers
will be most appreciated - and included in the pamphlet's listing of
"Sources."
 
Respond by email, if you wish, or post your comments to the Digest.
Either way, thanks in advance!
