one of the most common problems that can befall an lcd, in my own experienceat least, is the loss of the displays usefulness because one or more of the segments no longer darkens. most numerical lcds are made up of seven individual line segments as shown in fig. 1.  the electrical signals that darken these line segments and thus make up the complete numeral, can be interupted,either permently or temporarily, by poor contact between the pc board, the elastomeric connector and the glass lcd itself.

when the contact is lost, the display can dim, or one or more segments can completely disappear. if this happens, some people think that the entire display needs replacing. there's a chance you may not need to replace the entire dislpay, however. many times the display sandwich can be disassembled, the individual parts thoroughly cleaned and then carefully reassembled. i have found that denatured or isopropyl alcohol cleans the parts well.

the term noise limited means that the noise level in the receiver increased for that measurement in such a way as to cause the audio output to be all noise with no tone , for a two tone measurement , or to increase by 1 db , in the case of blocking . practically , the only time it is a consideration is when you are comparing receivers of similiar performance levels .

one troubleshooting step is to determine the power threshold that causes the  rfi before and after each step . if you do something that makes the rfi appear at 50 watts rather than at 20 watts , of transmitter output , you know that you did something that did have an effect . you can then try a better version of the same fix , more turns on the ferrite , etc. if this makes an additional improvement , you are on the right road .

if a rfi problem is caused by rf getting onto the outside of a transmitters feed line , a filter of this type will help suppress it . this rfi scenario arises only when susceptible equipment is much closer  to the feed line than it is to the transmitting antenna . this could happen in an apartment location .

world distance records at 1 0 gigahertz and higher are all held by portable stations in europe , australia and japan . properly equipped north american operators could match any of the existing marks with a careful choice of location and operating conditions . the hawaii to california path probably provides the best opportunity to extend the 1 0 gigahertz record .
