I can't see many people falling foul of the use of homeplugs. There might be the odd token prosecution just to get people thinking about it but I'd say it's unlikely to be more than that. |
There's been a few home visits and confiscations reported on the radio forums recently. Ofcom though very rarely patrol the bands but they still do react on interference reports especially from licenced users (broadcast and amateur). You have to remember that 500w ssb even if overdriven is more than likely to just splatter on the same band where a cheap plt will block out signals across a large swathe of bands even at minimal power.
Another side of it is if the equipment being interfered with is up to standard and filtered itself.
