Interference Hunting With Signal Hound's Spike Software

When signals interfere with one another data rates plummet, connections drop, errors multiply, range decreases, pathways become noisy, and information exchange slows. The consequences can range from annoying to catastrophic. To keep from bumping into one another, signals ideally stay in their designated frequency lanes, do not exceed their allowed amplitudes, and conform to other relevant protocols. However, in practice, the sheer number of high-powered broadcast services overwhelms such tidy ideals; add to that illegal transmissions, unlicensed spectrum usage, leakage from all manner of devices, equipment performance degradation and failure, and the situation gets tricky.
