As an ex-radio ham I do sympathise.

I've deployed several pairs of Homeplug adaptors where wireless has been
impractical (obviously before I was aware of these problems), and I'd be
interested in an opinion on what would happen to those owning and
operating these devices if Ofcom rules against them, considering that
they were purchased in good faith that the required approvals had been
granted.

Hi Ian

BT has been removing theirs when a complaint has been issued.
Its not so clear cut with shop purchased ones however they are in
violation of the laws and regulations so this is what I am asking
about.

It would appear that on the HPA types there is a disclaimer saying
that if RFI is caused then it is up to the owner of the PLT to resolve
the matter.
This comes from the US where HPA is a bigger player as I understand
it.
