Interference Source Solved!

[TailGator911]

Had irritating white noise and data sounds in the 150-155mhz range and could never figure out the source of the interference. Found it today - was my CGMS unit on my arm that communicates with my diabetes meter. (Continuous Glucose Monitoring Sensor)Turned it off, crackling noises gone when monitoring snow plows yay! It's the little things....

Haha who needs to know what their blood sugar is anyway huh I was wondering what brand glucometer you use? I use a Dexcom G6 and haven't had anything like that happen thankfully. I wonder if something could be going wrong with your glucometer because it shouldn't interfere like that with the radios I wouldn't think.

That's the exact same unit I use because its 100% covered by my insurance. Nothing wrong that I could tell and my readings are spot on. When I changed my 14-day patch it stopped so I believe it was a one-time thing because my current patch is not doing it. Who knows? I love the Dexcom G6 and not having to stick myself all day. I use it with my iPhone and it is so convenient and instant. And free!

Oh yeah I hear you I have to change up my sensor every 10 days though. I've had mine for a little over a year and I wonder if there may be a longer lasting sensor now since you mentioned 14 days. The good thing is the interference is gone and you're not having any problems with the sensor or the radios now!
