Title: Watt-Hour meter noise Post by: n1ps on March 08, 2020, 07:47:00 AM I had a buzz noise on 3890KHz that was bleeding over and heard on 3885, a nuisance. It had several other spurs scattered around the 75M band. The one on 3937 was the strongest. I knew it was outside my house and I sniffed around all over the neighborhood for a couple weeks. It finally turned out to be the "Smartmeter" at the AC service entrance. It was sort of like not noticing that elephant in the closet! Duh! ;D
Just a FYI to watch out for this. I sent an email to the power company....we'll see where this goes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge8mZgMC4jU Title: Re: Watt-Hour meter noise Post by: Opcom on March 10, 2020, 12:35:02 AM Odds are they will pull and replace the meter at the exact time you are installing an o/s or backing up something..

Oh yes...or worse...when wife is doing something important! BTW I have heard from the power company, but awaiting as to when/if they will replace that spurious meter. p |
