I got Smart Metered Today

What utility still offers BPL?

CO it can

the

right-of-way.

Public safety radio frequency pools are NOT available to read utility meters. The FCC told them to use ISM bands instead. Doesn't mean that the local pool coordinators are not ignorant or corrupt though.

Smart

Please to explain the difference between your BPL and the wikipedia power line communication. They look like the same thing to me.

A decade later.

WE invented the first FUNCTIONING laser in 1960.

However, I would consider Dr. Hobbs' remarks regarding optics, and the history thereof to be as credible as it can get.

In fact, in this regard, I would consider him to be about the most credible person in the group, encompassing a period of YEARS.

So, despite a few seconds of skepticism, as soon as I saw the post author, I considered the historical declaration to be factual and fully credible. I didn't even bother going to look up "window pane acoustical interferometry". I would bet, that such a search would yield many hits, and several references to Russia.

What? Are you kidding? He has a doctorate.

As someone who has been employed in law enforcement, and still having good contacts within, there's no way in hell they'll share their public safety MESH.

Far as I know it hasn't been deployed in the U.S. as yet. Time will tell.

They are effectively the same, the only difference being the baseband frequency used.

Who said they were? I highly doubt they even have one.

They're probably making cheap knock-offs of those bugs right now

yes, but most of the test setups were abandondond several years ago. It was approved by the FCC in 2004. if the technology was worth doing, it would be everywhere by now.

Tried and failed miserably.

Links here to Manassas; AFAIK, the last holdout.

This last rule of thumb cannot be relied on. Having discovered the advantages of RDS while driving in Europe -- knowing what song was playing, traffic alerts overriding the music, etc. -- I was surprised to hear from my buddy at Bosch that US radio stations would not install the equipment even if it was free.

Just another distraction for drivers who are already texting & talking on their cell phones.

Hint: There's no revenue model for RDS. If broadcasters could charge for the service, or rent it as a form of advertising, it would be everywhere. There was an attempt to tie it to the purchase of songs via iTunes by the use of radio "tagging" (RDS/RT+), but that seems to also be stalled. My guess is that it requires equipment manufacturers, broadcasters, and online music vendors to reach a mutually attractive agreement, which hasn't happened. There are some details on the current situation at the end of this article:

To insure acceptance failure, improvements and mutations are appearing:

There's also the "problem" of HD Radio, which offers an alternative in the form of HD PAD data. The FCC seems to view HD Radio as the future, not RDS and its mutations.

Radio World had a series of articles on RDS, which covers the technical issues in detail:

You seem to be confusing two clearly different technologies.

After the headaches engineers had with AM stereo and other 'improvements' most are gun shy. When they have to beg the bean counters for new final tubes, they don't want to do anything to shorten their useful life.
