From what I gather, the Examiner amplification is not done by power amplifiers such as transistors, but by allowing a resonant circuit to oscillate at its resonant frequency and tune any signals at the same frequency, same as a crystal radio tunes resonant frequencies. I suppose this is Rangertell's way of saying their resonant frequency circuitry amplifies tiny electronic signals in the air if they are present.

Awseome feat?
Nah, it's been done with crystal radios decades ago.

But with a calculator?
Maybe. I can run some tests to see if there is any calculator signal coupled into the Examiner circuitry, as well as check for frequencies from the calculator if you want.

A length of tube makes a great circuit. I guess the same could be said for sea shells.

Some calculator signal tests would be nice, kinda surprised you didn't do any with the first Examiner.

Later, Jim
