The proper fix for this problem is a visit from the enforcement guys, and a nasty fine for repeat offenders. After that, what would be so hard about using sensing and DFS (done right this time) to cause systems near the radars to notch out the 110mhz of spectrum while not bothering anyone

Well, there are 83.5 mhz of spectrum available. So in theory, no. HOWEVER, it'll depend on how close they are. So if you have two systems at fairly low power levels I'd expect you to be fine. If the power levels are very high though, you WILL interfer with yourself. Also, you'll likely find
