Help for Your Interference Problems

Whether you call it RFI, TVI or something unprintable, interfering with consumer electronic devices can really put a dent in your on-the-air activities. What's especially frustrating is that, in many cases, the inteference is the fault of the consumer electronics involved. FCC's Enforcement Bureau understands this, and is well worth visiting for information and aid in this troubling area. For starters, we recommend:

General interference topics: The FCC Compliance and Information Bureau's Interference Handbook--the electronic version of the Interference to Home Electronic Entertainment Equipment Handbook.

Telephone interference: The CIB Telephone and Interference Bulletin CIB-10 for has FCC information on telephone interference. In this bulletin, the FCC says it's the fault of the phone.

Of course, ARRL's Technical Information Service has lots of good information on this topic.

Other Radio Services

Amateur Radio doesn't exist in isolation; many other radio services also use the electromagnetic spectrum for telecommunication, radiolocation and other purposes. FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau oversees those involved in wireless telecomms.
