I am getting radio interference on the AM radio band (600 kHz) from my neighbor who is using an Innotek wire fence a few hundred yards away. If the dog fence is putting out this much RFI (radio frequency interference) is it defective? Perhaps a lightning hit has changed something? ADMIN - Hi Barry, The Innotek systems do indeed work at 600 Khz - but the range is very limited. Generally using a regular AM radio you don't can't hear signal once you are ten yards away. It is possible that the neighbor has his system set up with an unusually wide boundary, but even then you should not hear anything at 100 yards. Lightning damage is unlikely to be the culprit - as that will usually make the unit completely stop working. Ask the neighbor to switch off the fence for a few minutes and see if the interference stops. What radio frequencies do the electric dog fences work on?
