I'm considering a DVAP, but it will be in close proximity (perhaps 3-5 feet) with my wireless router (Apple Airport Extreme). The DVAP only puts out 10mW, but I'd like to minimize the chances of interference. Are there advantages/disadvantages to either band (DVAP is available on both 2m and 70cm) in terms of RFI to Wifi? Thanks and 73, Glenn N1IEC |

WiFi is 2.4 GHz or higher. I'd be amazed if there was any interaction at all with low power 2M or 70CM operation -- assuming the signals meet FCC purity specs. I've never seen any with my non-DVAP VHF (50W) operations. Your HT is more likely to cause troubles than the DVAP. 73 Martin AA6E |

Thanks Martin. I'll probably go with the 70cm version, but figured I'd see if anybody knew if one was more susceptible to causing RFI with Wifi than the other. |

Update - It's been about two years now. I've been running the 70 cm DVAP within 5 feet of both a Verizon Fios cable modem and an Apple AirPort Extreme and have seen no problems whatsoever. |
