According to this guy, he said it doesn't use RF, so would go over power lines, but I don't think that matters, if is using those frequencies, since they show it affects the powerlines of everyone else on the line.
He wasn't wearing any face shielding, if he had any for changing it I don't know, but I doubt it.
The power co. last year said they were putting in smart meters in certain areas, but it was voluntary, so they were calling them smart meters then.
I want to get it solid in my mind on this, before I call them.
Been looking some more and as it is definitely part of the smart grid, so I would guess it would have to be a smart meter, but I'm not certain.
