Gee, Len, BPL isn't supposed to be radio at all. Fill us in on the

I wonder why they have to have wireless routers and receivers (what
frequency do they operate at?...)
Geez, Coslo, you still don't know dink about BPL. Neither does
Heil apparently but then He can't be told anything...
The DATA signals carried on electric power lines are, effectively,
SIDEBAND components of a digital signal. Big wiiiiiide sideband
spectral content. [I have to simplify it in order to teach you
children sometimes] None of the systems have lil teeny
individual "HF channels" for subscribers. It is similar to,
but not the same as, the digital data stream coming down a
cable TV system.
Seems like if it is HF already, we shouldn't have to use them.
You "shouldn't" or "should?" Be clear in your statements.
You CAN use them if your receiver bandwidth is as wide as
from 3 MHz to 80 MHz...AND you have the digital decoder...
AND you have the subscriber unlock code.
I can see a little HF receiver hooked to my
computer, and make a little antenna from what would ordinarily go into
my Ethernet port. That should work, shouldn't it?
It will work as well as that aluminum foil hat you wear to
keep space aliens from reading your thoughts.
Maybe it is a conspiracy to sell electronic parts?
No, books...like "Broadband Techniques For Dummies and
Simple-Minded Stupid Extras."
