80 meter QRM!?

The following is self-explanatory!

Check 3.525 and 3.558 in the FM mode for telephone modem signals.  A
couple years ago discount stores and cable companies sold these modems
which plug into a wall receptacle and transmitted for miles.  You plug
your phone into one and located a second unit in another room or garage
to extend your phone line without wires.  These are manufactured in China
and are intruding into the ham bands again.  If you hear these signals
report your log to the ARRL at w1aw at info.org
Cable companies recalled these units and the 80M band was free again of
these signals.  Now they are coming back...we could use your help.  Make
your log report short with a signal strength report and times.  If you
listen long enough you will be able to hear two way phone conversations.
I found my neighbor using one and told her about all the gossip I
overheard and she quickly unplugged the units.
