Hi Kurt!

07 Aug 2017 08:55, from Kurt Weiske -> All:

 KW> I read that powerline ethernet adapters can cause serious interference

 KW> Does anyone here have any experience with SW/HAM radio and powerline
 KW> adapters to confirm?

I think modern PLC standards notch out HAM frequencies.
A very quick google search did not find any good reading material ...

A PLC manufacturer wrote this (has to be taken with a grain of salt):
Does powerline interfere with HAM radio signals?

By using OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing), we create different
 interleaved channels or carrier frequencies (up to 1155) that can be
transmitted on. We can also tune these channels to make sure they don't
interfere with other RF signals - like Amateur Ham Radio operators - in effect,
 notching out those frequencies from use (effectively using only 917 of the
1155). This reduces overall throughput, but ensures that we don't impact HAM
Radio communications.

I assume that faulty/crappy switching power supplies can also lead to that.

CU, Ricsi
