Dave,

With due respect,  and after reading Willem's posts, re: the associate
members issue...
and now, reading your question, it makes one wonder! Should the associates
be listening
to the "RPT's?? What you are asking..... should be common basic knowledge!!
(as an RPT)!

Query.....when did RTT, change to RPT?
As I recall, 26 years ago, RTT meant Registered Tuner "Technician"!
It's been a while, but does the "T" stand for tuner, or tech?
At any rate, after reading many- many posts, be it tuning or technical, I
believe we should
all be tested......even the CTE's! The question I suppose.... is by whom!
Maybe some
whirling red lights?.....I hope not. Frightens me to who set the lights
whirling in the first place!
