Comment on How The FCC Plans To Destroy GPS – A Simple Explanationparent

At high power you can overpower adjacent frequencies wether you have good band filtering on it or not. For example a 2 Watt FM transmitter at 100 Mhz can easily overpower radio's tuned to 95 Mhz just because of its power, even with the appropriate filtering.

The internationally-agreed upon plan for the adjacent band was to have all the transmitters in orbit and all the receivers on the ground. So I don't think a 2W transmitter in orbit is going to overpower receivers in a different band.

40,000 of 15KW transmitters on the ground may be another matter.
