FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A busy stretch of Yonkers Avenue has become a Bermuda Triangle for parked cars.
For at least six months now, business owners here say a mysterious force has been locking people with keyless remotes out of their vehicles or preventing them from starting their engines near Yonkers and Page avenues.
But the cars revive after they are pushed or towed away.
An expert hired to investigate the problem said Monday that localized radio interference is to blame for disrupting the signals sent from keyless remotes, but he still was trying to pinpoint the exact source of the signal.
“It’s not a common phenomenon,” said David Maxson, a radio-frequency communications specialist and owner of Isotrope in Medfield, Mass. “I only get a handful of these quirky types of complaints every year.”
Ronald Squiers of Enfield, Conn., said he was unable to remotely unlock his car after leaving a wake at F. Ruggiero Sons Funeral Home in the area.
Owner Michael Ruggiero said the problem arose again July 15 when a woman making funeral arrangements for her father got locked out of her car. Weeks ago, he said his brother had to get his car towed off the lot.
“I’ve had constant complaints,” Ruggiero said.
Yonkers police Detective Lt. Patrick McCormack said the department has not received reports of electrical interference. Ruggiero said he doesn’t want to bother police with the problem.
When the problem first arose, Employees at Marden Hardware said customers assumed the batteries on their keyless remotes had died while they were in the store and bought new ones on the spot. When that didn’t work, store employees began pushing stalled vehicles down the street, out of range of the apparent interference — which did the trick.
The owner of an antenna installed on a utility pole on the affected block hired Maxson. Equipped with a high-tech spectrum analyzer, he scanned the area for an “offending signal” this month, ruling out the utility pole and antennas on one building.
Maxson declined to identify a specific property as the source of interference, saying he wanted to be 100 percent certain. But he is confident it’s on the even-numbered side of the street.
Faulty electronics are likely to blame, he said. Keyless remotes are designed to transmit quick, intermittent signal bursts over radio frequencies shared by other low-power devices such as garage-door openers and meter readers. It appears that an malfunctioning device in the area is sending out a more powerful, continuous signal that drowns out others.
Life-saving medical electronics such as pacemakers should not be affected, he said.
Maxson said he has experienced a disruption similar to the one on Yonkers Avenue only once before, when he found himself locked out of his car in a parking lot at a military base equipped with high-powered communication systems.
Drivers who experience a similar problem should try bringing their keyless remote as close as possible to their car’s antenna, minimizing possible interference, and pushing “unlock” again.
Marden Hardware employees just hope the problem gets resolved soon.
“We lose customers from this,” clerk Ernal Bailey said, adding people “know they can’t come here unless they park blocks away and walk.”
