OT:Radio Interferance

Central Heating thermostats are the real problem around here- some neighbour has one that wipes out 4m for 30s as it switches.

frequency of the mast, 362mHz, which effectively blocked the immobiliser signal going to the engine"

362 MHz?, seemed to think that Airwave was around 390 ish ?????...

dolphin, ah yes the boys upstairs failure.....airwave is split iirc above and below 70 cms....

380 to 400 MHz. The commercial TETRA system is 410 to 430MHz

Nope. Used to run the uk.transport FAQ, but got tired of the sniping and backbiting. Sold the Cossie, too.

ObDIY: Ford only guarantee trim parts for 3 years after the end of production, and when I broke a rear light cluster and couldn't get a replacement, I decided it was too precious to run on the road, so sold it.

Ofcom still have both frequencies allocated to TETRA, see:

like the spoonerism, BTW. :-)

Not quite true. 802.11 and the doorbell are on unlicenced access bands and almost anything goes provided power limits are obeyed, but DECT has it's own band, power limits and protocols to avoid interference and all other services are expected to stay out of that band.

Yes and no! DECT has a dedicated allocation but nevertheless it should be designed to be immune to transmissions well outside that allocation.

Yes, it would - though this is really just another area in which uk.d-i-y has an excellent pool of knowledge.

The unusual thing is that particular cluster of problems:

Given the spread of frequencies involved, it's hard to see how any one radio source could cause all three problems - particularly not all at once. We really would need more details.

I thought Edinburgh used black cabs. No r.f. level short of a nuclear blast EMP would stop them starting.

Any other frequency is worth money. It's only the crap frequencies like these and the 2.5Gigs microwave oven (Bluetooth and Wifi) band that you get for free.
