Hi All!

Silly question for the tech-savvies by whom I am overshadowed...

I am considering installing an invisible pet fence at my rural home. Will
this adversely affect my DX'ing?

I use a 100' wire and favor a Satellite 800 and a DX-394. The wire will
pass over the inground "fence" wire at about 18ft in height and will cross
it at roughly the mid-point. At present I have no complaint with
performance whatsoever.

Thanks in advance for any input!

I think most of those fences work on CB frequencies. Shouldn't do too much
damage except for in the 27MHz range.. YMMV

Thanks Brenda!

I'm grateful for your advice.

This company says their system works on frequencies below 20khz.

From the answer to q5:

"...Our system works by radio carrier frequency -- either 7.5 kilohertz
or 10.8 kilohertz. We utilize 30-hertz modulation frequency..."

But it would certainly pay to ask the contractor you're planning to deal
with what frequency their system works on to make sure.
