Question 276

Which of the following actions should you take if a neighbor tells you that your station’s transmissions are interfering with their radio or TV reception?

  1. Make sure that your station is functioning properly and that it does not cause interference to your own radio or television when it is tuned to the same channelCorrect answer
  2. Immediately turn off your transmitter and contact the nearest FCC office for assistance
  3. Install a harmonic doubler on the output of your transmitter and tune it until the interference is eliminated
  4. All these choices are correct

Explanation

The first step is to establish whether your own station is at fault by confirming it operates properly and does not interfere with your own receivers on the affected channel, which separates a transmitter defect from an overload problem in the neighbor's equipment. Contacting the FCC is not a first step, and a harmonic doubler would add harmonics rather than remove them.
