well, if your neighbor was stealing gas from your car would you report it to
the police??? or would you expect them to be checking the level in your tank
for you every day to see if some was missing? if your neighbor was running
nightly parties that kept you awake would you confront them about it? if they
didn't stop would you call the police?? or would you expect police to be
checking for all noise in the neighborhood to stop at a 9pm curfew??? if you
saw your neighbor dealing drugs out of his house would you report it to police
or just assume that they will eventually figure out that something was going on
and catch them without your help??
If you don't inform your neighbor that their tv is causing interference
(preferably the first week then have it) and coach them to return it to the
manufacturer as a defective device for violating part 15 or 97 or whatever it
might be, who will?? if they don't then fix it, and you don't report it to the
fcc, then who will?? The fcc, like the local police, can't be everywhere all
the time to find intermittent local interference sources. they are busy enough
trying to take care of those who do file complaints without going around
looking for more work.

Am I the responsible person to go to my next door neighbors, inform them they
have an illegal TV and demand they get rid of it??
Kurt, respectfully, you can cite all the rules and regulation etc you want, but
the fact of the matter is, we are not protected. They import (or build it in
country) this junk that causes interference and nothing is being done about it,
unless I do it myself demanding they get rid of the noise maker, plasma TV and
light dimmers. I ain't gonna do that. I guess I could relocate as many have
already done, being driven away from man made noise.
It's not my job to enforce those regulations, the government entity that is
supposed to oversee, don't.
If these devices don't fall under the part 15 or whatever part, then why aren't
new regulations made that do? It's still up to the government regulate these
interference making devices, but…..here we are, light dimmers, plasma tvs, fish
tank heaters, dog water dish heaters, hot tub equipment etc. It's continued to
be mfg, sold and used. Now we have to watch out for the LED lights they'll be
in your neighborhood soon.
No oversight, no protection.
