Wild guess, and assuming it is on 7X24-- an Ethernet over power line 
device used in a home.

The ham band filtering is a characteristic of the Netgear brand  of 
Ethernet over power line devices.  Others may filter, but I know Netgear 
devices filter.

I located one a year of so ago, which is how I know about it.  It was 
filtered for HF, but not VHF.

73s and thanks,
