Finding RF noise is not grounds for suspicion of a crime. Not even close. The only way a technician can determine what the noise is, correction, what is causing the noise, is by getting inside the house. To assume that it may be criminal is nuts and the cops would laugh at us if we called them in on that suspicion.

Using HAM radios cops are triangulating grows.

"One narcotics officer from the San Francisco Bay Area turns his car radio to 560 AM when he checks out potential indoor grows. He’s checked out seven indoor marijuana grows since learning about the RFI issue. All seven times, the car’s radio showed significant interference from the ballasts inside of the grow location. "

“If I can track this down, anybody can track this down. If I listen long enough, I can tell when they turn the lights off... You can tell exactly when the harvest is.”

This is what you originally said, which is said was not true, which it isn't. Now your elaborating.

Exactly.
I was trying to be brief, originally... thinking that most people can get from my first post to the explanation in the last one without holding their hands and walking them all the way through it.

I guess that was my wrong assumption there.

You were the one that made the assumptions in your first reply. You can keep trying to justify that or you can apologize (which I have done in situations where I have made this mistake) or you can just move on. I'll forget all this in a day or two anyway, same as you...

came home today with a note from comcast at my door that read as follows:

"dear valued comcast customer:

during maintenance work in your area on ____, comcast technicians discovered that radio-frequency or electronic interference signals were originating from your home and traveling onto our network through your cable line. these signals are interfering with your neighbors' comcast service. this interference may be cause by loose cable fittings, faulty cable wiring, or other sources in your home. "

it then goes on a bit asking to set up a time to have them check it out.

anyway, wondering if it truly is bad wiring causing the problem or if my lights have something to do with it?? one light is quantam bad boy t5 6 bulb and the other amare se450 in two separate areas. wondering if the lights have anything to do with it - and how would i fix it if they do? maybe i'm just being paranoid but i know i've heard certain digital ballasts interfere with signal (but i have no clue if these lights have anything to do with that) - help? xD

thanks guys

I'm too lazy to read through the post but I had the same issue but it was only a cable that was connected to the "out" coax and but was cut when I changed to Direct TV. The cable people called me and disconnected my internet until they could find the issue. All they did is disconnect the cable that wasn't attached to my TV anymore. Noise ended.
