    I'm going to keep all this stuff in mind in case I ever am asked for assistance in locating the problem. I doubt I'll ever get that call, but hopefully the FCC can put some pressure on these people.

    What year and why did you get into the Radio Hobby?

    1964 for me. My older brother got into it with an Winegard 1/2 wave ground plane and an RCA Mark VII radio. He was one of the first 5 people in the city to be on the air. Naturally, I began talking to his friends when he was not home. If I remember correctly, the radio had 4 channels, but a...

    I'm not sure what's available here for internet over power lines. I'm not aware of any. We have spectrum, Highline, and there's a wireless out of Northern Michigan University. But none of those have ever given me an issue. These folks have been here 5 years and the problem began about 3 or 4...

    Scary Anomaly

    Well, I didn't want to take it to this, but i ended up contacting the FCC via the web form. The good part is that I have already done my part in that the city has located and pinpointed the precise address. The city spoke with the tenants, who blew him off, and I spoke with the owners of the...

    They ARE a very good radio for the price. Someone wanting to get into a bit more sophistication could not go wrong with these.

    I've got a total of two hours on mine and it's back in the box and for sale. It's no where near the radio the Stryker 955 is. Some folks love these, I don't.

    Seems like you need to download the alignment software and get into the meat. I just went through a Q6-pro and it will key at anywhere from 1w to 25w. Average swing is nil, but at least it's not backwards. *I'm getting a solid 80w+ pep out of AM, and so close to 100 pep on SSB it's not worth...

    I'm still not sold on setting up a radio/amp combo using dead carrier. With the new radios today, some are capable of putting out 60w to 80w PEP even with a 1 watt carrier. I believe a better way to set them up is with modulation. Begin with your carrier at near zero and then modulate it...

    The QT80 IS the Q6 pro. Same radio.

    ↑↑↑↑↑↑ This, right here. I like this. Make them come to me so we can make an arrangement that is beneficial to both of us~! And I do still have the beam ready to go up. I WAS going to wait til the noise was gone, but now ....

    Scary Anomaly

    I sold off all my HF stuff, but my current radio is 10, 11, and 12 meters. The noise covers all of that with ease. No fall-off at all going between 25mhz and 30 mhz. I'll get the SDR set up again, but first I want to talk to the property owners.

    Interesting. My neighbor has no solars but I have no idea if there are LEDs or not. Gotta get the owner to let me in there. May not be possible with it being rented.

    Scary Anomaly

    I appreciate the advice. I do have an SDR, although not in service now, can be set up again. What kind of complicates this a bit is that this is a rental, and that the issue COULD be coming from the beaker panel, which would be the landlord's concern, OR, could be something the renters are...

    It's the neighbor's house. Pull his meter and nose goes away. But here is the strange thing; Pull just one leg and the noise is still there. Reconnect and pull the other leg, noise is still there. It doesn't matter which 120v leg is connected, he gives me noise. This kinda tells me it is a...

    Scary Anomaly

    I would most certainly do that with nearly anyone. But this neighbor moved in 5 years ago and I just yesterday learned their names. Tried to introduce myself and meet them as they moved in and was met with icy attitude and zero speak. I still wave and nod as we meet now and then in the alley...

    No solars that I can see. No indications of grow lights anywhere. Basement windows are visible, etc. This came on all at once. Was talking to a guy a few months ago when suddenly boom. 8 units of noise. Been there 24/7 ever since.

    Scary Anomaly

    Well, after a boatload of research we narrowed it down to my neighbor's house. Pulled the meter and the noise goes away. Plug the meter back in, Bingo noises back. So, for anyone who may know, what are my options? Do I have anything legally I can do the kind of force them into locating whatever...
