You could post useful info and/or links. But, you'd rather pistol whip me as much as you can.
.... If it's 802.11b or 802.11g, any channel other than 1 will probably be
all right, although the higher numbered channels are better. Channel 1
really raises the noise floor right in the middle of the AO-40
downlink, but 1-5 are all in the amateur allocation .. try and steer
them toward 6 or higher if possible. It may not be possible given the
requirements of their frequency coordination, but just make them aware
that 1-5 will cause us trouble in general and 1 is particularly
problematic ..

I just emailed the company asking them if they could avoid the amateur allocation or not. In this country, it's innocent until proven guilty.
