style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">My
understanding is that no ETDs are allowed during the temperament<BR>section of
the RPT tuning exam...<BR><BR>However, I know a few technicians who use the
second hand on their <BR>analog wrist watch as a guide to set beat speeds.
<BR><BR>So a wrist watch is technically a electronic device that assists
with<BR>tuning. Does that make it an ETD and therefore disallowed
during<BR>the tuning
exam?<BR><BR><BR><BR>[k]<BR><BR><BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
