Cb Radio problems
My neighbor installed a CB radio antenna and now I am picking up his
conversations via my computer speakers and answering machine. This has gotten to be a really big problem for me and my family. It even interferes with our fire radios. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how to fix it. (Short of going over and cutting the wires!?) Thanks in advance, Jade |
Drop a .001 capacitor across the two wire of the phone line (red and green)
at each jack, this should eliminate the rf on the phone, maybe cure the computer speakers (if the rf is comming through the phone jack to the modem.) What is a "fire radio" ????? Regards, John "T.B.

What is a "fire radio" ????? Sorry about that. :D DH is a Vol. Fireman. and the radio is what they use. Jade -- This is an automatic signature of MesNews. Site : http://www.mesnews.net --- avast!

It is the responsibilty of the CB'er to get rid of the interference,
especially interference (if it is a) on a commercial "fire" radio. Sounds to me that the CB'er does not have proper grounding or his antenna is too low. |
What the hell does grounding have to do with interference, Antenna to low?
hell put it up 300 feet high this should help. I bet he is using POWER, dam CBer. Better yet get yourself a CB and put up a antenna , I bet he gives up as his receiver will be overloaded with your radio. Fight fire with fire as you know. wrote in message ups.com...

(Short of going over and cutting the wires!?) Thanks in advance, Jade 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. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
It happens that formulated :
as he is being legal. Dh talked to the guy last night and wouldn't you know it . He is not using legal equipment! Some people!! Needless to say for the pass 2 nights we have had no problems what so ever. I have made recodings of him conversatosn as they come over our speakers just in case we need it to prove us case. Dh said he was none to happy about finding out we could hear every thing (and I do mean everything) he has said. ^^ Jade -- This is an automatic signature of MesNews.

However it still isn't your responsibility to fix the problem. Legal or not it's his responsibility since it's happening to emergency communication equipment.

I couldn't find anything substantial. I have part 97. I do not have the CB rules. Most indicate that if you are causing harmful interference to a band on which you are secondary, that you must leave the frequency. I am not sure, but in this case, he might just be overloading the front end of the fire radio. Sounds like the guy was attempting to correct the problem. Vinnie S. |

It's a no-brainer to those who will think about it. However it's not just an "FCC rule". It's illegal to interfere with any kind of emergency communication regardless of the source or method. If it's "unintentional" you are expected to either stop or fix the problem. If you need statutes I can find them from all levels and branches of government....or you can go look them up yourself. Maybe you should do that, you might learn something.

Where Part 97 is concerned it does specify that we are secondary on some bands. On the bands where we are primary we are still to avoid causing interference any secondary users. We are also to have equipment that will not cause interference to adjacent bands. If your stuff is operating properly it's not real likely that you will cause interference to a fire or police radio (that is also operating properly). HOWEVER, if you are next door to a fire station and you are interfering with their equipment and don't do anything about it yourself it is most likely that the FCC will make a modification to your license reducing your power, operating hours or operating frequencies. It happens. (No Lancer I don't have specific examples but pick up some copies of QST.)

That's why I asked the OP if anyone had told the guy he's tearing stuff up. |
