Post #161,896 by hnick 6/28/04 11:09:08 AM Reply	Again, maybe... Before cell phones/skyphones became popular, they prohibited listening to radios. I believe that the rationale was that the heterodyne oscillator could potentially cause interference. I don't know if that still pertains, but it is a better excuse than customer gouging. I'm really just guessing on this. My ignorance of avionics is fairly complete...

Multiple oscelators working at different frequencies can cause unexpected frequencies to appear in the environment. These frequencies are entirely unpredictable and uncontrollable.
