Sounds to me like having a friend in the shop at PG&E will come in handy when it's time to build short-hop links or a portable event repeater! - 73, Paul AE4KR

PG&E our Electricity Provider has started their Smart Meter program, where the meter reading will now be done by RF Communications. I had concerns about the equipment causing interference so I called and received the following information. RF Frequency Range of operation 450-470 MHz FSK Modulation Power Out - reported 100 to 300 mW, 200mW typical. Reporting Time - once every 4 to 6 hours. Who's going to pay for it... you the customer. cheers, s.
