I have one; my power company installed it six months ago. It says "FlexNet model 530X" on it. It's about 30 feet from my shack, and maybe 50-150 feet from my various antennas. I can hear some hash if

I have one on our meter, installed several years ago. Mine is the "slow" type, and doesn't need a van to drive by. The only meaningful writing on it says "TURTLE*" -- implying the slow data transmiss
