I wouldn't think so... Microwave Oven's are MUCH more powerful than these radio's are. You have to be in close proximity to them before they effect your pacemaker.
Microwave oven's are also nortious for not sealing correctly. You can pick up the energy given off from a Microwave oven for 300+ meters easy. Would I be worried about them for the general public.. no... Would I be worried about standing infront of a 24dbi gain ant with a 1 watt amp on it... hell yeah... Just my thought on it.. the SB stuff (well, anything within FCC reg) just dosn't give off enough power to worry about it... heck, cell phones have more power. Their what? 1/2watt? 1watt? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sam Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 6:04 To: Sam Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Will an APPO Affect Heart Pacemakers? M concern comes from exactly what you pointed out: Nearly everyplace you go that has a microwave oven in use, there is a warning on the door stating something to the effect of: "Pacemaker wearers: Warning: Microwave oven in use on premesis" Or something close to that. So I got to wondering if these radios would have the same affect. Sam On Mon, 25 Aug 2003, Eje Gustafsson wrote: > Does the elderly have any problems with microwave ovens ?
