Tom,
Yes, their gear (the paging stuff) not only costs more but their
transmitters spurious emissions have to remain low or the paging company
risks being fined by the FCC. Sure, a transmitter can malfunction once
in a while and cause interference to the ISM band but this is not a
common occu
I like how they end their pitch...

That all sounds good, and it brings up a good point, that we are just as
probable to be the culprit, not just the other guy.
Besides, their gear costs more, right :-)
However, what specific gear do you have experience with, on this issue, to
support your comment?

The hard part there would be that it's not, in any way, predictable.

I concur. When a 900 MHz access point (AP) is located "near" a

I'd add two commments to Scriv's post...
1) The requirement may vary significantly on wether one is using a Omni or
Sector. When using an Omni, a filter becomes the only method to solve the
problem, since it can't be solved with Antenna isolation strategies
(shielding/front to back).

away the benefit to move your Radio Freq Channel to stear around

While filters can help, the problem that I see is that filters are: 1)
