We are a group primarily
against the proliferation of Homeplug (HPA), Comtrend (UPA) or
Power Line Technology/Telecoms PLT or PLA adaptors.
These units use the unbalanced
mains house wiring to transmit a wide band radio signal on, and
this generates pollution levels 10,000 times the legal (EN 55022)
limit.
They are now available
throughout the world and our concern is that they cause
interference at an unacceptable level to listeners and users of
radio spectrum across the board. These devices easily fail
current EMC standards along with many other laws and regulations.
And endanger/annoy legitimate radio listeners/users in their
homes or mobile.
We are also concerned with
other types of radio interference caused by Plasma TVs, Bad power
supplies and other devices that clearly would not pass an EMC
test.
The RSGB and UKQRM share
similar goals and we support their 'Spectrum Defence Fund'
