Thats the 160 meter band, I would be more interested in how many watts your transceiver is pumping out when the DSL cutts out as there is a legal limit as you should be aware of.
tickmike, thank you for the welcome, yes, 160 is a great band, just wish I could use it.
It happens on power over 5 Watts, any more than that and the router gets knocked off.
I am fully aware of the limits, they are:
1.810-1.830MHz 400 Watts
1.850-2.000MHz 32 Watts
But it isn't the power that should be of concern, but the field strength.
Just for interest, the estimated power density for 32 Watts at a distance of 60 feet from the antenna to where the router is located is 0.0031 mW/cm2 based on the maximum permissible exposure of 100.005 mW/cm2 as recommended by the FCC in America and for 5 Watts the power density is 0.0005 mW/cm2, which to sum up the figures this is a tiny amount that is disrupting the router. I am surprised that they are allowed to get away with that.
At the moment I've got two choices, don't use that band, which I'm doing at the moment, or fit my filter and let BT puzzle it out. I know OFCOM won't be interested because I'm legally within my rights to use that band with as much power as I'm licensed for. They will be of the opinion that my transmissions are disturbing apparatus that should not be so susceptible to radio transmissions.
So, back to my original point, has any one else had this and who did you get around it, or is there anything else worth trying?
Many thanks once again for the interest.
