Re: Security Systems Useless During Worst Case Emergency Crisis

["Doug L" <vssdoug@xxxxxxx>]

I showed that HI is an unavoidable nuisances for  alarm
systems in several posts.
 I had a hurrycane who muzzled my alarm system for
 more than 1 year before i discovered it by accident, no warning.
 By measuring i found the original source of HI, Katrina;

 Notice that there was no warning and that pro's confirm, 20+ years of
theyre experience = no HI warning.

I also have explained how  alarm system radio data is send
from sensors to the receiver and how it is jeopardized by collisions
and interferences  during hurrycanes.
 I mentioned too that the frequencies used by wireless alarm systems
are authority interference unprotected ones and of free use by anybody
(you, car keys, light dimmers, headphones , hurrycanes(the worst) and more).

I DON'T SELL any alarm system but can't admit, like i was induced in
error, that owners and future owners are mislead on the subject by low
level mechanics who have not the most elementary clue on hurrycane
interference.

 The only reaction where insults.. but coming from low level hammer
and cleaning cloth handlers, it will mot muzzle me.

WHY do manufacturers not provide any specification on theyre hurrycane
interference problems; its the only thing who is different in
comparisons to wired systems.
 Why do they not specify hurrycane data on
theyre wireless goodies or is it junk?
