Hi all, just a thought.... If you're an accredited lab you are supposed to evaluate your working environment: I'd include Cell phones in this.
Now, I hate banning things, so my first thought is that whoever is running testing should know about mobile Transmitters, from Door openers to cell phones. This is a topic I always discuss when Assessing. Just because things are banned doesn't mean they will not be present. In my lab I use the 4 module HP system, and Sucoflex cables. I do not see signals related to the cell phone in this system. I did when I used low cost cables. I am not advocating the used of a particular brand, just good cables. The power to the four modules is passed through a Xantrex super isolation transformer also: just cos'. Seasons greetings, Derek Walton L F Research Pettit, Ghery wrote: > > I would.
