Same here. Our HP Receiver will pick up cell phone emissions from 50 feet away even with the input cables disconnected (weird), so no cell phones during Emissions testing. I do not see why it would matter for other tests.

Years ago when I worked for a commercial lab using a R&S receiver, the pre-scan data pick up noise from a cell phone. The lab bans the use of cell phones (all cell phones have to be off).
