@truirf I did that and did not find anything, just look for UKQRM there or on google as well as the ban plt web site. Thanks

[HurricaneSondra]

this gives you the SAME ammount of freedome to watch your shows or blast your mp3's into another room as does that device you showed, called a BT device. i'd advise you to please change bands while you still can before the FCC gets you and has you jailed for radio jamming. this is ONLY advice from a very experianced ham radio operator, thanks, seventy threes

[HurricaneSondra]

jamming is illegal in the u.s. and is out lawed in most other regions as well, IF YOU ARE CAUGHT, watch out, you MAY be receiving a fine from YOUR LOCAL FCC GROUP! it's illegal, and you should return the device to it's manufacturer, and nolonger use it. i use a net gear router, and it doesnt even BOTHER the HF bands. if you are going to use anything, i'd use the 900 MHZ band and a device called TV-LINK. one box is installed on your tv or main vcr box, and the other can be install elsewyhere

I just traced my steady S9 QRM on 80 and 40m to the 3.3v switching supply supplied with my Buffalo WHR-G54S. Hoping I can quench it at the source with split RFI ferrites. Really annoying. >:-(

[ThePretzelHead]

Fight fire with fire!

[Aviator14]

I don't understand why they would use frequencies that low. Why not just use the common part 15 frequencies such as 2.4ghz that is designed for high bandwidth

[mikesndbs]

Please note that its not just Comtrend adaptors that cause this problem!

Check out the dreadful interference caused by Belkin adaptors, even to DAB, FM broadcast and aircraft VHF!

[symonh2000]

Is there any way transmitting a signal back down the mains wiring, as to jam these devices?

I suffer from this kind of interfernace on my CB radios during the day time.

[petchharrison]

its ofcom thats the problem there not allowed to stop this its to do with the eu..we should have never gon in this rubish in the first place.telling us what we can and canot do EU up yours............jeff M6GLH jeff from uk

[prototype9000]

the fcc would have never gave itthe go ahead if it did it over that range of frequencys. besides i heard those kindofs signals since the 80s on hamradio it could be something else and they are just tryign to place the blame on bpl

[mikesndbs]

Hi I am afraid the FCC has no jurisdiction here in the UK, plus I am sorry to say that they have been proved lacking by the US amateurs! Please check out UKQRM to see just how bad this has all become, I know it seems impossible but its happened.

[santiago4747]

@prototype9000

you sir are some kind of fool a simple test buy some PLA Devices switch them on and Listen to an AM Broadcast from 2-30 mhz. If you are still of the same opinion that these devices dont cause Interferance then sir i will admit the Earth FLAT

[ravida1]

This whole concept is farcical. Where's the evidence that this actually blocks other signals anyway, even if it does it must be possible to filter it. And communications technology improves dramatically, these signals will reduce to noting in a few years, and if your that bothered just go to an unpopulated area to do your SW radio thing, or stick up a big arial, or move into the 21st century and use the internet. Some people have too much time on their hands. (like me, haha)

[mikesndbs]

Oh dear what a twat!

[BDGregory]

You didn't actually watch the videos at all did you.

[G0IMB]

@ravida1 Short waves travel around the earth by refraction off the ionosphere. This kind of thing carries for thousands of miles polluting radio spectrum worldwide. So there's no such thing as going to an unpopulated area. PLT is technological vandalism. It's a lousy technology: Wireless at 2.4 and 5.8GHz is far superior.

[an97an]

@ravida1

Wow your a douch

[ravida1]

Why are these people listening to short wave radio anyway? The radio spectrum is public, and this bandwidth is incredibly useful for data communications, much more beneficial to humanity than people snooping on signals and listening to outdated analogue radio broadcasts. Governments of the world are systematically phasing out such broadcasts for this reason.

[dawurzel]

IS there anything we can use to return the interference caused? or would that be illegal? Of course only if you're not a big company, lining the pockets of the wealthy. it helps if you can play tennis, I hear they're all experts at the "backhander". if we are caught causing interference we are outcast and stripped of our radios! something to think about, radio being phased out? why because we use it to talk to each other and the powers that be cannot have us talking,not without paying them 1st.

[pitcalco]

Obvious question: Why use the 2- 30 Mhz bands? That is just insane. In fact, this kind of technology could make a positive contribution to pioneering largely unused extremely high frequencies without jamming us shortwave and ham operators. Seems obvious to me, unless there is something going on behind the scenes.

[mikesndbs]

Yes you are exactly right!

[BDGregory]

There aren't really any other frequencies they could use and still make it work well over existing mains wiring. The obvious alternative is an improved WiFi that is better at giving good coverage in brick and stone built homes. I do think that the PLT manufacturers should at least be required to minimize interference (use lower power over short distances, only transmit when data is transferred etc.) and to obey the EMC regulations. Some of them clearly don't do either.

[Adriano9966]

lets hope some other government body does nt stick some type conformity label on these darn things there is no way on this earth that these devices conform with any emc regulations anyone who claims they do must surely have shares or other financial intrests in comtrend or bt vision..i have signed the petition and encouraged everyone else i know to do so also

[mikesndbs]

Well done!

[stuartthegrant]

This is to Much my blood is boiling.

I spent 50 quid on a half decent SW Radio

to be listening to BT!!!.

Outraged of Sheperds Bush

[mikesndbs]

Hi, yes this is a terrible thing, not just BT of course! there any many currently unregulated, untested PLT units on the market.

Join us at UKQRM to help fight this and find out how to resolve your own case!

[felixthefirecat]

this is the worst thing ever,i hope everyone who spins the vfo on an hf set from time to time signs this petition

[mikesndbs]

Thanks, Please have a look at my other UKQRM videos on my Channel.

Join us on Yahoo groups as well!

[Amishman35]

If the Broadband is going from inside the house to a central station many miles away, I hope someone cracks it and gets free internet and puts these jammers out of business.

[mikesndbs]

Hi, no this is not access PLT but used to make a local network within the house.

Check out my other UKQRM videos for details.

[Polybun]

If the signals can be picked up outside the home, then that means the data is leaving the house, meaning, you could use it to steal personal information, or anything else the network is capable of doing.

[mikesndbs]

Very possible! make sure to check out my other UKQRM videos and check our web site.

[SirSmartyPants]

If it was a company polluting a park then something would be done, but because the pollution is invisible it's overlooked.

[tsc0001]

Pffft... BT rubbish. These things are terrible!

[robkb1fjr]

BPL is bad
