Reggit 0 Posted April 27, 2010 Yep - there's an interfering signal on 433.9MHz - could be a jammed wireless doorbell, or if it's been happening more than a week or so morelikely something mains powered (possibly video sender type thing where you can watch a sky box, etc in another room). It will be in a house within 3 or 4 of yours. Check it's not your own property by taking batteries out of any wireless remote controls, and knock your mains off. If they still don't work, report it to Ofcom on 0207 981 3040 or see http://www.ofcom.org.uk/contactus/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rossb 0 Posted April 28, 2010 Yep - there's an interfering signal on 433.9MHz - could be a jammed wireless doorbell yes that was the problem. our door bell kept jamming about a year ago so we just took the battery out of the chime and thought no more. I've taken the battery out of the push button and all is working fine. Thanks for the help. :salute: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daves16v 1 Posted April 28, 2010 My Toad alarm on my 16v would ring my parents door bell when I pulled up on their drive and armed the car. They thought kids were up to no good :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
