Hi Edward, Thanks for the info. I just visited the website you listed below. The article reads:
"Which? tested two hands-free sets, from Carphone Warehouse and BT Cellnet. The results were startling: these sets acted as aerials, channelling three times as much radiation from the phones into users' heads. Hands-free kits can be convenient to use, but Which? says that consumers cannot rely on them to reduce health risks." Here is my two cents worth: Do you know what part brought three times as much radiation from the phones into users' heads? It might be the audio cable from the cell phone to users' ears. IF that is the reason the test results of Which? should be forwarded to Carphone Warehouse and BT Cellnet (two manufacturers). And Which? may ask EMC engineers of these two companies to improve their EMC designs. - Say, they did not carefully layout the PCB inside cell phone and let the RF energy leak to audio cable.
