Mathew, We have had problem back in Oregon with the Wi-Fi guys running the 2.4 GHz outdoor wireless amps that mount at the antenna. They seem to be sending spurs all over the band. With the PassPort VHF system on the same tower the receiver would 20db down and then turn off the Wi-Fi stuff and

There was a local VHF machine up here that was getting some interference into it. After some testing with trial and error, they moved the wireless internet antenna and the problem went away. Eric. n9lv wrote: I just had a 2.4 Ghz internet wireless antenna mounted at the top of my 120'
