With all the regulations "since 1920's", why then am I still plagued with a 
plasma TV next door??  Eight years it's been.  

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.
