I was at a gas station last year, pumping gas, when I heard my buddy call me on the radio. I reached in and grabbed the mic... completely forgot my 300w amp was on (feeding a 7dBi gain antenna) and when I keyed up, I crashed 3 fuel pumps at the same time... like screens turn off and the systems did a soft restart. I thought for sure I broke them. wayoverthere and WRXR255 2 Quote

I thought for sure I broke them. Reminds me of a friend who was showing off his wireless security system. I did a quick google and found the licensed freq for that company. Told him i could get in, and he set the alarm, so i put the freq in my UV-5R, keyed up, and went through his whole house blinding the system. Door sensors, proximity sensors all blinded by the signal.. and or Emissions. marcspaz, WRXB215 and amaff 2 1 Quote

As a side, when i moved out here from podunk Virginia my first job was a ramp rat for Fed Ex at SeaTac. One shitty night we had a late plane and were doing the local sorting onto trucks that would go get resorted for local delivery. Im in the back of a 20 foot truck with an extendable feed belt and I have to scan the barcode as i grab it off the belt and then stack it. I scanned one item and then the system went down. 20 minute reboot (at that time, slow comps) then. So we got a quick break, and i popped out a side door for a quick smoke. We are already on the high security "air" side so this door wasnt really watched, but not to be normally used, anyway... System back up, and I want to do my job right, so I rescan the last package and the system dies again. Another smoke break! I set that package aside so when were back up and chooching along about an hour later i want another smoke, so I scan it and boom. I did that 2 more times till we get pulled aside and told not to scan items from LL Bean (they had a funky barcode and package at the time). Im doing quick glances at the LL Bean item off the side in the truck, hoping they didnt see it. They didnt, but just stacked it with the rest and called it good for the night at that point. Quote

Father-in-law told me that back in the day, he and his CB buddies would pull into a gas station late at night that was closed, key up (amps in use of course) and turn on the florescent lights. Quote

Oh yeah, I do that now with all kinds of LED lights. My wife has a string of LED lights wrapped around the back french doors and when I am on HF, once I get to around 500w or more, even when unplugged, the LED's stay lit when I'm talking. When I am over 800w, the lights in the garage turn on, too. WRXB215 1 Quote
WRYZ926 Posted August 14 Report Posted August 14 A high school friend would scramble everyone's TV's on the block whenever he keyed up his CB and amp. Of course that was in the 1980's when most people had analog TV antennas or cable TV and no one had satellites. He thought it was fun to hold a 4 foot fluorescent light bulb close to his CB antenna and light it up. I haven't noticed anything major in my house when on HF but I am also not running any amps either. I do make sure that the old scanner is shut off, otherwise it goes crazy when I key up my FTDX10. The scanner really makes noise when I am running digital modes. Some bands are worse than others. It took me a minute to find the interference issues between my FTDX10 and Wouxun KG-1000G. I only had issues when on the 40m band. I had to shield the power supply for my GMR and dual band radios. The KG-1000G was the only one affected. I didn't have issues with the TYT TH-7800 or Icom IC-2730. Quote

I finally got around to watching The Fantastic 4 recently. I loved it in the beginning when the kid fired up his invention in the garage while his step-day was watching TV. It looked like it was sucking the image out the side of the TV. Quote
