Apparently depends where in the world you are. $4,500 with reports for
immunity is about right around here, Washington State - and from what I know of
the California fees (I've done a bit of testing there) for immunity they are
very close and the radiated expenses are more related to the cost of the
facility - 10 meter shielded room or OATS.

When you consider the cost of reports I think the cost goes up from
$4500. Two of the labs I use, cost runs about $5000 for the immunity
testing only plus cost of reports, give or take a few nickels.....
