Hi, all
Visited customer yesterday. He bought 2.4GHz AV sender to send Foxtel signal
from one room to another.
I set it up only to find interference that makes annoying to watch. Traced
it down to Uniden cordless phone customer has.
Tried to switch phone and AV sender to different channels without luck.
Customer agreed to run the cable instead of wireless sender, but I wonder if
anything can be done to fix the situation.
Thanks,
Rudolf

Re: AV sender interfence

Yep, computer fever! Been in the computer industry for 32 years, and comms
for only 18. Old habits die hard.

So is the use of handheld mobile phones, but they are still used.
Didn't they bring out a law, abt 25 years ago, regarding rf disrupting
domestic entertainment?


Re: AV sender interfence

Yes, I read the thread last night. I also went to the link you posted only
to find NO mention of these devices. It doesn't worry me one way or the
other. You pointed out that these units were illegal, I didn't know that and
tried to find the relivant law to no avail.
Can you point to a link that tells us that these devices are illegal?? If
you can, good. If you can't, thats OK too, we will be none the wiser! But an
admission of being wrong wont be a sign of weakness, just a sign of being
human. (people respect that)

** All transmitters ARE ILLEGAL !!
Unless a specific licence or class licence makes them legal.
The Commonwealth of Australia OWNS the air waves.
The C of A took control of them back in 1901 - IIRC.
They get to say who get to use radio frequencies in this country and how
they can use them.
Infringers, if caught, get to pay huge fines or go to jail.

** Yes - and I already have.
Here is the Class License doc that covers the case in question:

No 19 covers the usual AV senders on 2.4 GHz to 10mW output - since it
is for " all transmitters ".
5.8 GHz is reserved for RC, telemetry and RF ID equipment - see what
the table says.
There is no way an analogue AV transmitter qualifies for the LIPD band at
5.8 GHz.
Therefore it does not comply with ACMA requirements - as it does not comply
with any standard.
Importers must make sure that any radio device they bring in for sale
complies with one of the standards.
Looks like Jaycar failed to do that.
Not the first time for them either - some years ago they were selling radio
microphone systems on illegal ( TV broadcast) frequencies and were stopped.

Re: AV sender interfence

Of course! As soon as they figure how to do it, they will licence the air we
breath as well.

Ok, point taken. I've got to admit, it's the first time I have looked into
comms rules and regs. Wow, with the double dutch language they use any
interpretation can be given to a lay person.

WES, Oakley etc would be in the same boat as well

*****Which by your own admission is precisely what you are,why therefore
would you question (over and over) the original post from an expert that
told you the truth!
The mind boggles.

Re: AV sender interfence

Yes, the mind does boggle! The questions were for enlightenment, nothing
more, nothing less. No one claimed to be an expert. ( X = unknown quantity,
spurt = a drip under pressure) The claim was made that these units were
illegal, I asked for a link to show this, Phil was kind enough to give it.
Believe it or not, knowledge is gained by asking questions.

Re: AV sender interfence

Depends of frequency range (there is a free band) and, most impotantly,
power of transmitter. There is nothing wrong in using transmitter on any
frequency if signal range is only a few meters, for example.
I was working with 3G stuff and we asked the government about those sort of
things (we had to transmit in mobile phone band). There was not a problem,
as long as our power levels were small enough to contain the signal within
the office. We did have to get a licence for commercial testing, though.

** Who created that band - Mickey Mouse maybe ?????
Have trouble seeing the wood from the trees?

** Even a short range Tx can block a Rx on the same frequency from
receiving a weak signal that it otherwise would.

You can get away with anything, if nobody catches you.
Even murder.
