[RFI] Laser Christmas Lights

[Hare, Ed W1RFI]

What is typically done is that ARRL files a complaint with the FCC.

Unfortunately, the FCC then takes the position that is will not comment on active complaint cases, and in too many cases, it is not at all apparent that the FCC has done anything. If the do act, it often takes years, and by then, of course, the big box stores will have different models.

Still, it needs to be done, because there ARE committees and some regulators that pay attention to these sorts of problems.  CISPR and C63 will consider interference complaints in the setting of standards, for example.

Ed, W1RFI/4

They request that they take them off the shelves.  Not sure how effective that request is, but at least they try.

What happens if Ed finds the product to be outside FCC limits?  Are there
fines or anything in place to persuade manufactures to be complaint?

Hi ED.

Hope the leads help,

Glad you are on top of the rampant sources of RFI that is coming out of
China by the shipload.

Thanks. I am going to take a trip there next week and buy one to test. I'd
really like to know whether these meet the FCC limits or not.  Interference
reports give me a good excuse to do that. :-)
