[RFI] Here we go again

[Wes Attaway (N5WA)]

I agree that I was being overly picky.  I am sure they can cause
interference under certain conditions.  I just haven't noticed it here with
a couple that I briefly tested (I think they were either Linksys or
Netgear).

Wes,

	The aluminum rain gutter on my home is capable of being
an antenna of sorts - but it only becomes one if I clip a line
to it and load it with RF from a tuner - or likewise use it to
receive.  Same with the house wiring - under normal circumstances
it is just metal hanging in the walls.

	The problems with these devices are legend, the ARRL has
pages of reports and investigations and complaints to the FCC,
this list has also hosted many a discussion.

	Others are far more capable of regaling you with the sad
tale of these things than am I - my purpose was to be one of
several to open the eyes of the uninformed folks on that magazine
site.

	They are likely receiving, or soliciting, advertising
revenue - and the market is tough - so it will take a lot to
persuade them not to promote the product.

	Of course if they are warned, promote the product, and
bad things result - they will lose credibility with their readers.

We shall see ...
