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'
