Most ethernet ports are keyed by a 25MHz crystal. What you and others describe is harmonics interference from this crystal. Which is common unfortunately especially on poe based equipment. Sometimes in bad cases you have to as well put ferruls on the power cable to the switch/poe injector as wel

I am getting to the point where I need a central system that lets me track the network and records changes. For example something to put in Sites and what Equipment is at each site, then if I move a device from one site to another it logs that. If I make a change to a device it logs what that c

I went through this issue with a ham repeater at a mountain top tower. The repeater would key up and never let go as it saw some signal it thought was a user. I was in a metal cargo container and the repeater was in a frame building 20 feet away. I could turn off the ethernet switch and the inte

I believe it would be an offense to do so to a site with an FCC licensed public safety transmitter. If you are only using unlicensed gear and they use your unlicensed network I believe that is not the case. Now I'm not a lawyer, so to get a proper answer to this you should consult one :-) Thank

This happens right in my house. Since installing lots of extra ethernet wiring, my ability to scan in the 2m and 150mhz areas has definitely been hindered by all the off noisy channels. It happened because I haven't bothered to use shielded cat5 at home. At tower sites, we use shielded only. We
