Re: [HCDX] [Tvfmdx] RF water meters

[Ijebeling@xxxxxxx]

Here in Bloomington,MN we have a gas meter with a battery that is replaced  
about every 10 years. It sends a signal to a street light pole that has a 
box  attached to a Yagi antenna. I suspect the box then sends a signal out to 
a  central location. Our water meter is connected to a read-out on the 
house  exterior and they walk around to obtain a reading every several months.
The power meter is read through the power line(s). This also applies to my  
northern MN cabin power meter-they call it a 'turtle meter', as it takes 24 
 hours to get a reading in the Duluth, MN area.
With all that, I've never had a noise problem with any of them.
