Does ARC4 harm rf devices?

[Ralf]

Hi *,

does the ARC 4 electronics harm rf devices, like
rf transceivers from police, fire fighters etc.?
I mean not harming the devices itself, but the communcations.... :-)

(Sorry if this has coverd before, but the search
from does not work with my old Linux/Mozilla setup :-( )

Cheers

if i recall correctly it does cause a bit of interference, albeit very minimal /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Our tests have shown that is does produce a small amount of RF (comprable to the amount produced by a digital camera, etc). However, it does not produce enough to noticably interfere with the normal operation of any radio.

Oh sure, now you tell me. I'm glad my Arc4+ didn't trigger anything unusual with my pacemaker.

........ just kidding.

Ray, the greatest threat the Arc4 presents to your pacemaker is when you look at the price. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Surviving that, everything else is cake.

Simple solution... order it with your eyes closed, then have your wife pay the bill when it comes in.

Oh, wait... then the WIFE will present a threat, but not to your pacemaker.

Hey... I use mine to change channels on the TV. Even works through walls. The garage door opener interface is still in development.

Thanks for the answers.

Though I can buy one and use it at while doing
fire fighting :-)
