Re: Radio Hams are full of crap

its not the apadapeter is the wioring they use the mans cable is unscreened therefore a massive antenna.

cat 5 is creened twisted pair so you dont get rf leakage, but basically the wiring becomes a network and aan anetanna guess waht in theory it is possibel for your neighbiurs to use your internet conection using devolan adapters . if you think hams are lieing got othe rsgb website and search for plt.

If you haev been in royal signals why you never gt a ham license , ill tell ay why you are not allowed to due to the fact you have not been trained to a higher standard . roayal siganls use equipmet designed for the military , made easy to use for the squaddies.

Re: @dogged- HAMs

yo have never meta radio ham personally so you cannot comment on what your saying , if it was not for radio hams the mobile phone, tv satallite coms all this stuff would never have benn invented .

radiohams know a lot more about rf that you do . plus these guys have been ising radio without causing interference for a very long time and thye do know how to fix it , plts do not conform to the standards and devices severaltimes now suppied by bt have had to be removed form the market and changed deu to the problems they cause.

I f you get an ofcom visit because of your plt device causing rf spectrum abuse you can get fined and sent to prison , as there are other services using these bands as well ie cosatgaurd/police around 150mhz, airtraffic 118mhz to 130mhz all deivces could and can cuase problems there as well , you also have the miltary freq on hf whch means you may get yourself in alot of trouble.

plt

go to amaozon spend 30 quid on an ethernet to wifi i use that for sky pbox plt does cause nise problems as the devices are not always notch proerly and the trun the wiring of the house into a big antenna.

As a ahm and it eng i can say plts if causing interference have to be investigated now by ofcom/bbc but the wifif equivalent is jsut as good here is the entgear one on amazon (and you can plug a switch in if you ahve multiple devices to be fed off that one wifi
