If the shipping container is closed up with you inside, isnt that a faraday cage where nothing emitted into the box and nothing emitted out?
I never thought about this particular situation until this thread was posted. At first I smiled, then frowned when I consider the implications if the spouse is in need of one.
A Hoverround would be able to rotate in place a full circle. What does that do to your availible space inside that container? If memory serves a pallet 48 inches times two makes 96 inches and you probably had about another 6 inches, but absolutely no more than that wide.
I believe the NCE Radio system uses a very narrow band of frequencies allocated by the FCC for remote control devices that is in the 900 MHz range, the same as a cell phone. If cell phones don't interfere with the electric wheelchair the NCE shouldn't.
OCM,
It might want to try contacting Larry Larsen @ NCE and ask him if he knows of any interference issues like the one you're asking. You also might need to make a call into Hoveround for some specifics.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
Perhaps this has been addressed before but I could not find anything on it.
I use a Hoveround FWD electric wheelchair and plan to build a layout in a 40 foot cargo container. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with radio interference. A corded system would present a problem due to running over the cord.
Anyone in the Pudget Sound area with an NCE cordless DCC system? I could test my chair to see what happens.
Thanks in Advance,
