If a cellular repeater is installed and causes interference that cannot be corrected, will the FCC or others require it to be removed?
If a repeater is not installed properly, it can create an oscillation that can cause interference on that frequency. The FCC can find this oscillation and require it to be corrected. Digital Antenna repeaters have a power down circuit that will lower the gain of the amplifier when an oscillation is detected. If the oscillation is very strong, it can burn out the amplifier chip. PROPER INSTALLATION IS VERY IMPORTANT. Standard high frequency installation guidelines should be used for the proper cabling, separation and connectors. Improper connectors like PL259s can cause many problems.
