UKQRM Video 3 Know Your Enemy

www.ukqrm.org
In this video we try to cram in as much as possible in the short time allowed.
I purchased a set of Comtrend powerline adaptors from eBay for £30.
This was an X BT Vision set.
We have a look and listen to the adaptors and test to see how
effective or not the notches are.
(US ham bands only)
We see the first UKQRM 'How to' featuring home brew DF for
plt hunting.
Finally we have a look inside the adaptors and get the latest
update from UKQRM
and its efforts to save shortwave radio.
Note, at no time was the simple wire antenna closer than 15 feet to the house!

Call on your government and authorities today to enforce the UK law!

(voice over in intro? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ewQM3LzOTc)


This video and others issues by myself under the UKQRM header
have been made to provide information to others regarding what I
and many members of UKQRM see as a serious erosion of UK law
and the rights of UK citizens.
The opinions expressed within these films were arrived at using the
best of my abilities and represent my own personal view point.

[mikesndbs]

@29pu04 Sorry can you clarify what you mean please?

Blimey. Ive read and heard an awful lot of bad news about these beasties. Luckily for me, they dont yet plague my area, but Im sure its only a matter of time. Ive watched a few of your vids this evening, and the problems some people have is far worse than I ever imagined.I find the examples of amateur band and bc band QRM at 8 minutes in quite depressing.

Luckily where I live, the cable TV provider which is also the broadband provider won't allow this sort of thing. They're such a powerful monopoly, and they have so much sway, that they can keep this competitor out of their market. I guess it's one of the few times a monopoly is a good thing. My neighbor has an electric fence that he activates in the spring to keep the critters out of his garden. It creates a "pop" on all SW freqs. That's annoying enough for me. I couldn't cope with QRM.

BT is recalling ALL the PLT adapters they supplied made by Comtrend, citing a safety issue. The recall appeared only three days after the ITU Recommendation on PLT interference maximum levels... The adapters BT are using to replace them hide the pollution until the adapters are used, Lee Talbot of BT Vision Complaints wrote, "While customers are watching video-on-demand services the adaptors will be in normal power mode and emissions will be the same as the earlier models of Comtrend adaptor."
