meters.
We also have smart meters that operate in the
896/935 commercial band.
You aren't immune from RFI though as you might
think. After they converted our neighborhood over
to the smart meters, I was plagued with RFI that
seemed like power line noise. It turned out to be
my neighbors smart meter. It was from the
electrical circuit inside the unit. It took me 4
months of badgering our electrical company to
finally get it resolved. They kept saying it was
not possible for it to be the smart meters because
the operate at such a high frequency, blah, blah.
When the technician finally came out I walked with
him over to my neighbors house with my portable
radio on AM. The AM signal roared when we got
close to the smart meter. A half hour later, the
smart meter was replaced with a new one and the
RFI was gone !

Our smart meter utilizes the 896/935 commercial
band. It's polled by
their prominent "mountain"
site. I receive an email when the mains
disconnect from the co-op and
when they reconnect.
tnx

I've always wondered about that stuff. We were
switched over to smart
meters a few years ago. Fortunately no RFI and
they operate on 900
MHz and
2.4 GHz. I was told by several meter readers
and techs in the are
that they relay to repeaters in the area. I'm
out in the desert.
There is no other equipment for several miles,
nothing on any poles
that's ever been seen and the hills with
communications equipment are ten to fifteen
miles out.
What could these new meters possibly be sending
to? I can't imagine
their range much more than to get across my
land.
