[SBE] Certification

[Albert Muick]

Ooops!  Sorry Kim!  My bad, and your points are valid just the same. :-)

BICSI is interesting and probably a cert worth getting.  Funny about the
SBE, but it would be interesting to find their seal of approval on
transmitters, etc.  I think that would be opening up a can of worms though.
I don't think the SBE wants to get into the business of putting seal of
approval on broadcast equipment, since this might lessen the value of SBE
cert for the engineers.  We are supposed to be able to work on anything and
make it function.  Seals of approval could be seen as playing favorites.

Kim,,,is not a guy.  The perky electronic princess is the wife of Bill.  
 
As for states winning the battle,,,as I said before, BICSI has become the
standard for low voltage commercial wiring at least to the outlet, and it
behooves SBE to find a way to work our needs into their standards.  What
should concern us greatly is that BICSI, not SBE, has an accepted standard
for RF cabling as well.  If you look in catalogs for coax cables, grounding
kits etc, , you will find BICSI certified products.  None such for SBE.
