One other remote meter reading that I mentioned a year or so ago on the 
LWCA board and is becoming quite prevelant in rural areas is the 
"Turtle" by Hunt Technologies:

If it is one of these, you should be extremely happy:  They run QRSS, too!

Actually, it is probably PSK or something.  This actually seems to 
operate in the sub-100 Hz region.  A friend of mine (WA7X) has one at 
his cabin (wa7x.com) and we have tried to find it by feeding the AC 
power into a sound card (using a transformer, of course...) but haven't 
located it yet.

This device is readily identifiable - as it has a turtle logo on it.

WB0DAAOne thing that we haven't done is to ask the inventor/president of 
the company, Paul Hunt, who is WB0DAA (see:

http://www.brainerdham.org/1998/hunt%20technologies%20tour.htm

If it *is* one of these animals, and it *is* causing QRM, maybe there is 
something that can be done...
