The Realistic DX400 (brother of the Uniden CR-2021) is on sale according to a 64th Aniversary Sale Flyer from Radio Shack for $179.95. The regular price is $299.95. The sale ends May 20, 1985. These are portable synthesized digital readout receivers covering 150 khz to 30 MHZ continuously AM/SSB/CW and 87.4-108 MHZ FM. Last year they were "dropped" from the Uniden product line and sold on closeout (as the Uniden CR-2021) for around $100. However Radio Shack kept their prce at $299.95. I was fortunate to pick up a Undien CR-2021 and am quite impressed, for the money it works great as a take-along portable. I think the $179.95 price for the DX400 is within reasonable limits (I still feel $299.95 was outrageous) for this type of receiver. So for those of you who missed to Uniden CR-2021, here is another chance. 73's Ed Soomre (N1BFF) Digital Equipment Corp 1 Iron Way Marlboro, MA 01752

However, I find a peculiar type of interference that is local to my apartment building , and was wondering if somebody out there could help me find a way to find it. The interference appears as a pulsing sound, approximately one cycle per second, covers a wide range of frequencies (from about 5MHz to 15MHz), and does not go away at any time of day. I turned off all power to my apartment with the circuit breakers, and yet the signal persists, indicating a neighbor is at fault. I also brought the unit to a remote area to see that it was not the radio itself. Can somebody give me a reasonable way to find the neighbor that is causing the interference? Should I bring the FCC in if I can't resolve the problem? -- Jeff C. Glover, Tektronix, Inc. PO Box 500, MS Y6-546, Beaverton, OR 97077 { decvax, allegra, hplabs, ihnp4 } tektronix!tekcbi!jeffg
