* FCC cites RV owners in RFI complaint: The FCC has told an Oregon couple
to stop using its Winegard amplified television antenna (Model
Sensar/Roadstar) on their recreational vehicle "until the condition
causing harmful interference has been corrected." The FCC contacted Jimmy
and Jan Bowen of Gresham, Oregon, following a February 3, RFI complaint
from an Amateur Radio operator to the FCC Portland office. The
interference was reported on 447.375 MHz. An FCC agent investigating the
allegation tracked the interfering signal to the Bowen's RV in Portland.
The FCC cited Part 15 rules and noted that certain Winegard antenna
amplifiers "have been the source of radio frequency interference in a
number of cases." Due to the complaints, Winegard
<http://www.winegard.com> has agreed to replace defective units at no
charge. The FCC advised the couple to contact Winegard to make necessary
arrangements.
