It just bugs me...

Well, whenever I see the opening section of the C64 manual I wonder about these two sentences, which are referring to what you can do to avoid RF signal interference. Those are two of the measures given:

 

- relocate the computer with respect to the receiver,

- move the computer away from the receiver,

 

Well, and the difference between the two is? :?

 

I guess the second sentence is for those of us who thought, putting the computer closer to the reciever could be of any help... or who just don't understand such "big" words as 'relocate' and 'respect' :D (those two groups may be very much the same)

They are giving you two distinct and different possible actions.

 

Relocating the computer with respect to the receiver would be like putting it on the left side as opposed to the right side of the receiver, for example. Or perhaps re-orienting it - like having the front of the computer face such and such a direction.

 

The second option is suggesting moving the computer away from the receiver that is having the problem.

 

So you can see, there are two different possible courses of action. Each one is present two different actions.

 

Yes it is definitely possible to eliminate interference by moving the offending equipment closer to the receiver. Depends on the geometry of the radiation and reflections involved!
