Ameren made contact with us (well their subcontractor) regarding two of our fsk sites. They have lost communications with something like 250-300 nodes or whatever. I feel bad for these guys, no tools beyond finding interference and asking operators to change channels. One site we are on 922 [image: Inline image 1] and the other we are on 916 [image: Inline image 2]
We dont have much option either. I would prefer to just finish dumping 900mhz all together, but thats outside my authority. the only info he can provide is Ameren's meter modules operate at 917.53 MHz with a bandwidth of +or- 1-3. He did know thats a hard set channel, but not sure if thats a 1-3mhz or actually a 2-6mhz channel. I dont have a problem helping where I can, but as you can see, I dont have any spectrum to move to. The second one is on that channel because it was the least bad at the CPE sides. Is there any tweaking on FSK to make it colocate a little better for these guys. Its like I told him, it doesnt matter anyway because comed/exelon is going to steamroll with their smartgrid here soon anyway, but in the meantime id like to minimize each others headaches -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
