Dutch PLC Emmissions Tests

Are we reading the same report? The link is to a report that notes an Amateur radio interference complaint and interference with broadcast radio. If you look at the numbers the signal levels radiated are high.

This system was run under current emission guidelines, so clearly they need to be tightened.

To sight this report as “No Interference problems were found” is typical of the totally clueless PLC PR Bunnies.

The report did cite one complaint from a Radio ham. Subsequent investigation found that it was not caiused by PLC. As you highlight PLC met the current requirements whitch are in any case tighter then the specification ADSL is required to meet.

All the indications are that there is no problem. Several reports have now come to the same conclusion. So they way looks clear to roll out PLC at a rapid rate.
 
The report clearly states;

1) that there was a amateur radio operator complaint.
2) there was interference to broadcast radio
3) documents PLC signal strengths that are very high

The amateur radio complaint was resolved, system was shut down!

So the way looks clear to shut down the last few remaining gross polluters and focus on proven and better technologies.

ADSL does not operate in the H.F. frequency spectrum so the standard is not relevant.
