electric fence interferance

[jrplmil]

does anyone know if using the codes will stop the interferance from happening. I live in an area full of them and get a lot of false signals when I go by them.
thanks

It might. It's certainly simple enough to try.

What does electric fence interferance sound like? I figured probably similar to a lightning strike??

buzz 5 seconds buzz 5 seconds buzz, pretty easy to ID once you hear it, it can be quite annoying, my neighbor had one on his dog pen, beings he is a radio guy also, I told him to turn the darn thing off, i mean the dogs are in a 6' tall pen with a chain link "roof" and a concrete floor, the dogs aren't going to get out of there anyway. Try your tones/codes and see what happens can't hurt.
Oh by the way the only way an electric fence will cause rfi is because of a lack of maintenance, or improper installation, when it is dry out and the weeds aren't touching the fence, you shouldn't hear any rfi.

Can you hear it on most bands? IE HF VHF UHF
