50mhz :)

If the 2.3GHz spill over does not meet FCC specs, there can be lawsuits to force the FCC to take action in relation to their own rules and regulations.

Just a thought.

I think this is similar to the LightSquared debacle. If it causes issues with devices already in the market then I doubt the FCC will let it happen.  Unfortunately the GPS issue LightSquared caused is a little higher profile...

Totinos Pizza Rolls ended the 2.4Ghz party long before the evil conspiring telco.

To respond to two comments:

Mr Coyle: The FCC spectral mask will probably require a 30-50db attenuation off a 30-36dB EIRP (effective TX Power), we are using receivers that operate at -90 dBm or greater sensitivity, the FCC will not save us.  

Mr Crossfire: On Microwaves and WiFi interference - those tend to be different, they actually don't leak outdoors all that much and the duty cycle is low (as a whole).  Mobile carriers are much worse - they are very high duty cycle (or as they say it, they have a high spectral efficiency) and they are trying to transmit all over to provide coverage.  

Given the impact Sirius has had with a small footprint, this scares me much more.  This isn't going to impact your apple TV, but will impact long range wireless in 2.4

You can tell the mast is pure evil just by looking at it! BTW has anyone did range testing of various 2.4GHz systems vs altitude? I guess those antennas have horizontal radiation pattern. With some assumptions one could fly high and gain extra... ok not in States as it is only 400ft... You are doomed. Good luck.

I can't say I'd care too much if it ruined 2.4ghz control... but if it wreaks havoc with my (future) Lawmate 2.4 video that'd piss me off!

I'm sure there are other HAM's on here. The other issue at stake is that our Tx's for FPV cause interference, resulting in issues if they narrow you down to be the one causing said interference.

@ Grips

Yeah, that's true too!  There's another HAM in my neighborhood that lets me know when his club is doing Signal Hunts so I'll know not to fly then... lol.
