Thanks in advance,

Have you made him aware there is a problem? Maybe he would work with
you to rectify it.

Or may be Steveo could sneak around his house taking digital photos.

First, communicate with your neighbor about the problem. If he refuses
to fix the problem, file a complaint (in conjuction with your FD) with
the FCC (www.fcc.gov) since he is interfering with an emergency radio
communication service. If all else fails, talk to an attorney about
the neighbor and local laws regarding nuisances.

How about you figure out a few important things before you "stiff-arm" the
guy.
Important question #1--Is the guy running a legal station?
" " #2--Are you using a decent radio to receive the
fire frequency?
" " #3--Is your antenna system correctly installed
using decent connectors etc?
" " #4--Is there some piece of metal on / near the
roof corroded enough to cause Intermod?
These are a good start.
Next problem--the computer speakers etc.--Tuff cookies. If your scanner,
telephone, clock radio, stereo, tv audio system, computer speakers & a host
of other consumer devices are having a problem with cb energy close
by....look in your own house for the problem first before you send the
moustaches over to your neighbor. Most times these problems occur due to
corroded or improper connector installation, poor shielding of the chassis,
poor bypassing of leads entering the device to name a few errors.

In general, I doubt you will get anywhere with the fcc based on consumer
device problems.
You might get their attention if the interference is constant on your fire
radios.
However, by fire radios I mean bonafide units like Motorola, Icom, Kenwood,
MA/COM, Vertex, Harris, Tait etc.
If you are referring to a typical scanner, that, falls back into the realm
of consumer devices & the concern is not great there.

Even lowly cb'ers do have some rights.
One of them is that you must make sure your house is in order before you
storm the castle in search of Frankenstein's monster.

Good luck.

We have to make sure our house is in order and this guy can interfere
with what ever right??? It is very apparent as to what he is doing.
One conversation was about causing trouble for others on differnet
channels. I have recorded all of the conversations and will forward
them to whom ever I need to.

Is it legal for he the boost power? lenears??!! Maybe this is why we
are having the problem.

As far as I a concerned he can play all day on the cb just don't bother
me with it.

No. But he still has rights to use his CB. Sometimes it's the cheap
consumer electronics that are to blame. I'm not saying that's the
case for you tho.

Have you made him aware that he's causing problems, and if so, what was
his response?

me with it.

Jade

Agreed, Jade.

Btw, who is "T.B. Parks"?

Steveo,

We have made him aware of the situation and the guy is not in any hurry
to stop using his illegal equipment. DH spoke with a fellow at him job
that know alot about cber cause he use to be one. he knew right off
the bat what the guy was using before dh could say anything. I know he
has the right to use his cb but we have the right not to hear his
conversations. The computer speakers are connected to a dell computer
so nothing cheap here. (I know what you are talking about)

TB Parks is another account I have to post to Google groups.

Work with him. Try the frielndly approach first. Maybe he will try to slove the
problem. He might be running power, or he might have a legal power radio that is
hacked and splattering from over-modulation.

Well Jade,
That's pretty much the drill.
You have no proof that this guy is running anything illegal.
You might keep saying it, but that doesn't make it true.
You have the obligation to ensure your consumer electronics are not at
fault.
That means adding whatever filtering is needed on your end.
If adding the proper filtering doesn't fix things, then you might have an
issue.
The Fed's already know all about cheap, unfiltered consumer gear.
When you call them, they'll make you aware of it.

Your Dell & speakers are not filtered for this interference.
This goes for your scanner, your toaster and whatever else.

Get your act together and then go after whomever.
Before you can even get someone else involved, they're going to
ask if you applied the correct filtering first. If not, they'll advise you
to
do so and call them back if it doesn't work.

Those are your rights.
Now stop whining & do your part.
