Hi Ken. I guess I'm not terribly surprised, since this is a Region 2 ISM band from 902-928 MHz. I am making the assumption that this measurement was made in Region 2 🙂😕

Respectfully,

What really struck me was how busy the 915 MHz ISM band was utilized in an urban environment! See Figure 5 in the article. This was a swept measurement in Max Hold mode over a period of about a minute and you can see the average signal amplitude was 50 dBµV, with strong peaks from the drug store to 70 dBµV.

My suggestion was not for the original installation, but as a suggested fix after Ken’s troubleshoot appeared to pinpoint the source of the interference.

I agree Ken.  Unfortunately, installation companies don’t have that degree of technical prowess or care, they just go in, do a job as fast as possible, and move on.  The owner of the gas station would be oblivious to the EMC concern.

Nice. Seems as if a simpler fix would be a set of directional antennas for the gas station’s 915 MHz link, yielding higher intentional signal and if the antennas are properly oriented relative to the suspected interference source, diminishing the interference level.

Hi All,
I thought this interference hunt to a gas station price sign might be of interest to the group.
