(b) Operation of an intentional, unintentional, or incidental radiator is subject to the conditions that no harmful interference is caused and that interference must be accepted that may be caused by the operation of an authorized radio station, by another intentional or unintentional radiator, by industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) equipment, or by an incidental radiator.

One interesting suggestion has been to put up the antenna(s) and don’t transmit for a week or two. When the neighbors notice them and come knocking because they “assume” it’s you just show them the end of the coax laying on the floor, no two-way radios in sight. When they see it can’t be you they’ll just go away and quit being a**holes. I don't get it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man.. a wireless pad phone charger isn't an authorized or intentional radiator on 780am, is it.. And it's not industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) equipment.

And yes I know a few people that had to explain this to neighbors, of course they didn’t liked it either. After complaining to the FCC they got told the same thing.

SvenMarbles Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 So when I want to listen to 780 WBBM on my kitchen radio every morning with coffee, but I get the hashy noise because I have a neighbor with the cheap Chinese switching power supply, 15.5 says "sorry bud"..? I think I'm actually encountering "harmful interference". Any radio dork here who also likes to receive the HF/Shortwave band is a victim of it.. By the vapid population who surrounds us, who also don't realize that they're violating FCC regs. My point is,.. We who do the radio, should be the ones to curb our ability to do so, so that these goofs don't hear any noise? Even though they don't know the difference between radio or Instagram? K..

SvenMarbles Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Now listen,.. If I had a neighbor a house or two away from me who was doing radio as well, and he mentioned that he thought I was doing something that was giving him noise on something. I would ABSOLUTELY do what I needed to to squash that. And then he's also my new radio friend. But aside from that sort of circumstance. Nah..

Looks like it. Of course you could buy the guy a cleaner power supply that doesn’t trash your radio. Then you two can be real buddies like you mentioned earlier.

Since they have to do the enforcement actions that should settle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AM mode on VHF and lower. It’s noisy. The FCC isn’t going to show up in FCC vests and kick in any doors if I complain about anything. We do loops or do out best to set our wire back far on large properties if we have them. RF urban noise has just become a part of the fight.

And that is why one should be careful which radio they buy if one cares about using a Part 95 compliant radio. I didn't post my earlier reply to argue with anyone, just to point out that there are Part 95 compliant UV-5R radios available.
