Each team will be equipped with tools to assist hams to identify sources of RFI and correct them. Some are inexpensive and some are suited for certain types of RFI, e.g. power line RFI or RFI from in-home devices. There are also tools that are more expensive and sophisticated, to be available as needed from the Division.
