John, You're absolutely right. After strolling down memory lane, and reading the exchange of letters between Mr. Tawil of the MSTV and Mr. Jennings of Broadcast Technology Ltd., it was clearly MSTV's responsibility to submit receivers to CRC for testing, and interpret the test results from the CRC to choose which receiver to use in the field trials. It was MSTV's fault for not choosing several receivers of each modulation type, and it was MSTV's fault for not noticing or acting upon warnings that their early raw data was askew. However, it just goes to show once again that the unit that performs best in the lab isn't always the one best suited for the real world. Apples are for eating, after all.
