has made the decision to insource the people, services and processes as they
believe this will provide continuity for the delivery of licensing services as
well as providing value for money for UK citizens and consumers. It further
provides an excellent opportunity for experts in both organisations to come
together within Ofcom to build upon the close working relationship established
during this contract on key events such as the Olympic and Commonwealth Games;
and to continue this close collaboration into the future for the good of the
sector.<SPAN class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I hadn't heard that JFMG no longer had that contract, it looks
like the new contractor bounced it.<BR><I>Same people - just a different
company name</I><BR>I thought that most radios used a high local oscillator
which would start around 98 megs? Is the other one an image?<BR><I>Local
oscillator is designed to run at 10.7 MHz higher (or occasionally lower) than
the first stage circuit thereby generating a heterodyne of 10.7 MHz so
that the IF circuits have only one frequency (+/- 100 kHz) to amplify</I><BR>I
also thought that one of the arguments for low power (<=25 W) was that
overseas co-ordination wasn't required.
<DIV><I>Nice theory - doesn't work in practice</I>.<BR><BR>
