ARLA/CLUSTER: Fim das Tv´s de Plasma? Primeiro as boas noticias e depois as muito boas noticias

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

First the good news, then the very good news

Panasonic announced that they will scrap production of Plasma TVs, now
Samsung have made a similar announcement - 'Samsung is to stop
producing plasma televisions (PDP TVs) by 30 November'.

It said falling demand meant it would instead focus on producing
curved and ultra-high-definition (UHD) TVs. "

This is very good news for the HF spectrum, but will not reduce
efforts to improve emission standards for frequencies below 30MHz. The
existing standards are based on conducted emissions at the connection
ports of the apparatus - pressure has been building for many years now
to have radiated emission test.

This will be an important step forward with so many new devices/
apparatus polluting the HF spectrum.

Work continues in CISPR to bring about this change, with radio
amateurs leading the thinking.
