A safety briefing won't help if a 400 lb EUT slips off the turntable on to your foot. I think emergency stops are not only reasonable but would be required by law in some jurisdictions, and I don't see any EMC issues. Flashing lights are another matter; EMC issues exist and implementation is not as easy as for emergency stops. Can you show that the applicable human exposure limits cannot anywhere be exceeded with the max amplifier and antenna? -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. With best wishes.
