I believe pulse radar works on that principle. However, I am dubious of the Chinese TV thing for several reasons. First, I figure that would send so much energy into the air as to render much other transmissions kaput. Second, the command, control, and monitering of such a system would require enormous expense, manpower, and coordination. It would probably give plenty of false alarms as well. Third, system calibration, which is critical, would be next to impossible. Finally, in order to find out, all we would have to do is send some embassy secratary in Bejing down to the local TV shop, buy a set, and take it apart. If it IS true, I'd be pretty impressed. Though that doesn't take much. I'm still impressed by DSL modem connections.



Have you seen new TVs? They have so many options that no one knows how to use, you could hide a ballistic missile control in there and no would know
