Um, no. The "airport radio" in question is weather radar, which does directional scans and is very sensitive to interference. Just choose the wrong regulatory domain, and you're messing up the spectrum in ways that are mostly invisible to you.

(some devices try to avoid this by scanning the spectrum for weather radars...user indignation at unavailable channels follows)
- pdonis 5y ago> The "airport radio" in question is weather radar Ah, ok. Weather radar is very different from "airport radio". For the latter I have a very hard time seeing how someone's ordinary wifi router could cause interference, but weather radar antennas have to be much more sensitive.
- Piskvorrr 5y agoSure, but news channels usually don't distinguish this. "It's some sort of wireless problem at the airport, therefore airport radio."
