Question:

If a neighbour is using equipment to interfere with your FM radio (one particular channel) is it detectable?

and can they be prosecuted? (UK)

Answer:

Most electrical or electronic equipment is governed by a user honesty system where if the interfere with other equipment they are required to fix it. Especially if it is ham radio or CB radio. If it is a sewing machine or other home electrical item ring your communications dept. and they will take care of it. Sewing machines can be quite noisy as far as signals and interference go. As far as prosecution is concerned, that won't be up to you. The relevant dept will make that call based on what sort of equipment they are using. I think you should find out which dept. is in charge of radio signals and the like and talk to them. Good luck VK3FMPB
