That's interesting!! (See Cortland's message below)
We as manufacturers have CENELEC and the FCC breathing down our neck
over a few dBuV/m.
We have the IEEE EMC and Functional Safety paper, all 50 some pages of
it, worried about the possibly catastrophic effects of a Palm Pilot next
to a crock pot.
Meanwhile...Cortland ("KA5S" which stands for "Kills your Auto for 5
Seconds") here is running around town with 100Watts of electronic
ignition stopping transmitter wired to his car.
I mean, I like the job security of being a compliance guy and all... but
why do we bother?
(Just meant as humor; I hope no offense is taken. However, if you
think about it, all humor (including this email) needs to have a grain
of truth to be funny.
