It turns out my lacross projection, atomic, external temperature transmitter, clock is the source of the jamming.. Apparently its trying to communicate with its external temp sensor which has had a dead battery for months.. The projection clock is powered from ac mains and transmitts for long

Quite interesting the indoor unit that transmits hunting for the outdoor sensor... usually the indoor unit receives only and the external sensor transmits only. Your words imply that the LaCrosse clock/sensor is a transceiver pair... On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 5:21 PM, tom jones epoch_t...@yahoo.com

Thanks for posting this and I'm glad you solved your problem. It's nice to see actual examples of this type of interference. --- On Thu, 7/5/12, tom jones epoch_t...@yahoo.com wrote: From: tom jones epoch_t...@yahoo.com Subject: [time-nuts] gps jamming source found To: time-nuts@febo.com

The wireless data links in those R/C sensor type things don't operate near GPS carriers, but their harmonics can land there. The transmitted power allowed should be too small to interfere with anyone's receiver farther away - yours is probably pretty close. I believe that the remote senders do

A badly tuned/designed super-regenerative receiver can put out a lot of garbage. For commercial products, the receiver needs FCC approval to ensure this doesn't happen. Mike On 7/5/2012 4:03 PM, ed breya wrote: The wireless data links in those R/C sensor type things don't operate near GPS

I believe all electronics needs FCC approval for emissions. [Not my job, but I know engineers that complain about compliance testing.] 433MHz is a freeband (ISM). Still, you are supposed to be clean. On 7/5/2012 4:41 PM, Michael Blazer wrote: A badly tuned/designed super-regenerative

I bought some low power 315 Mhz, 2400 bps transmitter and receiver modules to use as a GPS data link. It turns out that the transmitter module can jam gps within a half mile radius. Later, the maker of the modules disavowed all knowledge of their existence
