 UNAOHM REACHES 2000... MHz THRESHOLD!
UNAOHM has a long tradition as a leading manufacturer of instrumentation developed to solve all the problems related to
the reception of television signals - terrestrial and satellite, analog (PAL, SECAM, etc.) and digital (Teletext, Pay TV, MAC,
etc.).
The field strength meter, in particular, has become indispensable for the proper installation of a TV distribution system. The
recent technological developments in TV reception make continuously increasing use of frequencies up to 2 GHz. As a
result, technicians and installers must consider these developments when designing and carrying out new installations and,
therefore, procure the necessary instrumentation to meet the latest requirements and those of the near future.
UNAOHM is proud to present a new line of 2 GHz instruments including sweep generators/markers/noise generators/atte-
nuators and related accessories, all of which have been recently developed to meet the standards of the latest and most
advanced technological requirements.
Our engineering team is at the complete disposal of our professional clientele to study the possibility of modifying our
standard models to meet their specific needs.

In 1974 Takano became general manager of JVC's

I met Takano on my first ever visit to Japan, in 1988. I
hadn't been in journalism long and was somewhat
apprehensive. Takano's official JVC photograph had led
me to expect a somewhat stern and reserved man, but I
couldn't have been more wrong. What I found was an
extremely open and warm person, with a great sense of
humour. Takano made me feel very welcome. After a busy
day of briefings and factory tours the press group joined
Takano at a restaurant where there was much drinking and
joking.
Takano died of a respiratory ailment at 2.43 a.m. The
wake was held on the following day, January 20th, the
funeral service being held on the 21st. Over two thousand
people paid their respects. Takano is survived by a wife
and two children. His legacy will live on through the
hundreds of millions of VHS recorders in homes across the
world.
In closing I'd like to thank Shuji Kurita, Deputy General
Manager of JVC's Japan Public Relations Department, for
providing me with many biographical details.
