| 559926 | 2007-06-17 04:37:00 | I HAD AND STILL HAVE A WEATHER STATION THE WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION DON'T WORK / I GOT A 2ND STATION SAME PROBLUM. THEY SAID IN THE MANUAL TO PUT THE RECEIVER NEXT TO AN FM RADIO AT 107.9 TO HEAR A BEEP EVERY 128 SECONDS 107.9 IS A STRONG COUNTRY MUSIC STATION HOW CAN I BLOCK [ WHAT CAN BLOCK THAT WAVE [107.9] | inspector513 (12428) | ||
| 559927 | 2007-06-17 04:58:00 | Welcome to PF1. Please try and refrain from using ALL CAPITALS, it is the equivalent of shouting at us and should be avoided. Please give us the make and model of the weather station, the "107.9 MHz" is probably not the primary frequncy, just a sub harmonic that you can use to determine if it is working. There is nothing you can do to "block" the powerful FM station but I suspect that is not your problem. With full details of the make and model we could determine more. |

| 559930 | 2007-06-17 23:42:00 | any half decent setup would have the abilty to change the fequency of the output. check the manual for any transmitter adjustment. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 559931 | 2007-06-18 00:00:00 | it doesnt solve your problem but go to http://www.metservice.co.nz/ it has weather and everything there | Tyroneb (11728) | ||
| 559932 | 2007-06-18 04:14:00 | What country are you in? Most countries that I know would be prohibited from selling such a device as it uses an international FM band frequency. Can you please give the exact model number, all the National Geographic ones I can find use 433 or 900 MHz bands. |

| 559933 | 2007-06-18 05:08:00 | Unfortunately, there's not much you can do legally. Your weather station is allowed to transmit on a "non-interference basis", that is, it must accept any interfernmce it gets, and it's not allowed to cause interference. The frequency is in one of the bands allowed by the General User Radio Licence for Short Range Devices (www.rsm.govt.nz/licensing/gurls/gurl-srd.pdf). Section 3.1 and 3.2 say the device must use only allowed frequncies, and must conform to standards. The conformance to standards means that you are not allowed to modify it. It won't have a frequency adjustment. ;) Section 3.3 and 3.4 say that you can't do anything about any interference to your unit, and if it causes interference to a licenced service, the licenced service wins. :D |

| 559934 | 2007-06-18 05:25:00 | But something makes me think this is not a poster from NZ.... Do we have a "country music station" anywhere in NZ using 107.9 ... ? |

| 559935 | 2007-06-18 06:19:00 | Umm . 107 . 1, 107 . 2 . . . 107 . 7 are all allocated on a ZZ "miscellaneous" licence, owned by "Every Person" with allowed power of -3dbW . There are a lot of such spot frequencies in the 88-108MHz FM band . They're probably for local FM low power statiions . But 107 . 9 isn't listed . It's not in the FM station list either . It's all in the SOL (spectrumonline . med . govt . nz) database . But if it's on our Low Power GURL, it's likely to be on the similar "no-licence licence" in other countries . Even in the US, it would have to conform to standards and operate on a legal frequency . The "non-interference" rules would apply, too . |
