Silly question here and nothing to do with computer - well slightly- maybe!
Now that 'wireless' is becoming more common I have noticed that I have been
getting more and more
false triggering of the alarm on my car (BMW 7 Series).
I have also seen it reported the I am not the only person that is
inconvenienced by this and many
have replaced the radio receiver control unit (key operated locking and auto
alarm etc) only to
still be bothered by false triggering.
It has been suggested that the increasing usage of radio based networks, radio
telecommunications
(not cell phones) and such things causes no end of aggro to systems that the
inventors/designers
never realised existed.
This is, probably, due to the governments (FCC in US) allocating wave bands
without due care and
consideration for existing users of that waveband. One example is the 27Mhz
band. US Citizen band
- UK model aircraft remote control. UK 27Mhz FM = UK Citizen band. Old 405
line VHF TV
transmission in UK is now let out for cordless phones among other things but is
still used for
obscure transmissions. I am not am expert but I wonder if this has anything to
do with some of the
network aggro we have experienced and interference with 'outside' "radio
controlled" equipment.
Anyone here experienced such........
