FCC Planning to ban Direct Conversion Receivers?

READ IN APP

From the FCC News Line:

The Federal Communications Commission announced today that it will soon ban a wide range of communications equipment due to interference that this equipment is causing to Starlink communications satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The banned equipment includes a range of legacy analog-type circuitry that, according to the Commission, has “lost relevance” and constitutes “an archaic electromagnetic nuisance.” Under the proposed Commission action, banned equipment will include all regenerative, super-regenerative, and direct conversion receivers.

The interference potential of regenerative receivers has been known since the 1920s. Direct Conversion receivers were thought to be less prone to Problematic Spurious Emission (PSE), but in recent months LEO satellites have experienced serious interference from terrestrial sources.
