Indeed, but there are limitations and then there is damn right rudeness,
inconsideration and sheer stupidity..........

That's one reason why the spoilsports invented CTSS codes.

Didn't stop someone in Bedford totally breaking up a training session
sending two riders in opposite directions down a long dual carriage
way............

On a serious note, the guys that do this with normal push to transmit
operation are not too bad, but the ones that run permanent carrier for
maybe an hour at a time are a pain as they jam a channel for that time.
I have listened to a few locally and they have no idea of the problems
they cause other users. I was listening to the coach at the local rugby
ground during a match and he lost comm's with other members of
management a couple of times due to the local bike man riding past and
blocking the channel.

The bike training course in St Albans used to use proper Pye PFXs
on 456MHz
They shouldn't be using public 446PMR, those that do are putting their
riders at unnecessary risk.

Sheesh, I wonder how they got those licensed? I would have thought PFXs
well beyond it now. Not to mention the availability of batteries.
There again good to see them using their own freq' rather than a shared
service.

Very much so, firstly accidental interference to themselves from legit
users and secondly deliberate jamming from fed up legit users!




Nice to see the way threads drift off course,
very much OT even for UK.doorbells ?????????????

At the Dunstable Downs Amateur radio rally at Stockwood park, Luton,
a couple of weeks ago, a dealer had new PFX batteries for sale!
But yes PFXs are antiques now.

Ofcom should make them use proper UHF PMR frequencies,
obviously some are available.

Some peeps here will have done, I bet ;-)

Carver, M. I seem to remember did something very similar.

I went round to a neighbours yesterday to help with his PC. He has one
of those remote wireless (I assume) doorbells. As it happend he was
not in, but *his* next door neighbour poked her head out of her front
door. Turns out they have one as well.

She told me that her bell often sounds when his button is pushed but
"not my tune and not his either" she added "sometimes mine sounds with
my tune but there is nobody there".

Anyone?

Thanks for a timely post. I actually wanted to know about this because I
was considering trying to find one with a single bell push but two receivers
so I get a ring at the front and the back of the house. I don't think I'll
bother unless I can find a nice "more secure" one.

Apparently some (Friedland) can be taught to use new codes which sounds like
what the OP's neighbours need to do.

Such bells often have different codes and associated tones so you can
distinguish between callers to the front door and the tradesman's entrance
(for example)... I think a bit of dip switch tweaking is called for (or
however it's set up on that model).

I've often considered building a high power device which emits a rapid
series of all known bell codes so I can conduct drive-by "bellings" in an
updated version of the old childhood game...

Well, you typed the name of the file you'd just created with gif2exe and
then the computer displayed the picture you'd added the header to.
