> Bluetooth, Ken? Is that a source of powerful radiation?
No, but it is not only operating in the frequency range that heats up water,
and you're sticking the thing in your ear. Might as well strap a microwave
oven to your head.
Cell-phones today are a bit different. Not only do they emit very little
power, but they auto "wilt" to a minumum output needed to maintain
connectivity. If you are in a good range of the tower (4 or 5 bars, for
instance), chances are the cell-phone is emmiting just barely more real
output power than the Bluetooth headset. (I have an RF spectrum analyzer on
my desk to prove this).
The fun part for me is cell towers themselves. Sure, they might have a huge
slew of antennas on them, but do you know what the output power on them
really is? I do. But do these natering nabobs of negativism?
Keep in mind, for a minute that a television station can be transmitting a
half-million watts.
So, basically, the "sky is falling" idiots that complain about a cell-tower
for radiation reasons better think twice about sitting inside of a Toyota
Prius, which is cooking the reproductive organs at a far greater rate. There
is a lot of RF floating around inside a Prius.
