NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number:  EB-FIELDWR-17-00024047
On April 5, 2017, the San Francisco Office (San Francisco Office) of the Federal 
Communications Commission’s (FCC’s or Commission’s) Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) 
received a complaint from Verizon Wireless stating that an unknown signal was causing 
interference to their 776 MHz – 787 MHz C Block Upper 700 MHz band service in San Jose, 
California.  This unknown signal interfered with over 200 sites of Verizon Wireless in the San 
Jose area.  Agents from this office confirmed by direction finding techniques that a wide band 
radio signal on frequency 785 MHz – 790 MHz was emanating from a residence on Mt. 
Hamilton Road in San Jose, California. You were identified as the owner/operator of the device, 
Full Spectrum, Cobalt-Plus, model CP-1000 that was emanating the interfering signal.  The 
Commission’s records show that no license was issued for operation of your station at this 
location on 785 MHz – 790 MHz in San Jose, California.
At the time of inspection, the agents found that the device, Full Spectrum, Cobalt-Plus, model 
CP-1000 operating on 785 MHz - 790 MHz had no label with FCC ID on it and was not certified 
by the FCC as required by 47 CFR § 27.51(a).
