pacemaker

hi everybody im new i dont know much about pacemakers so i signed up on this to ask people that have them a few questions ok, my niece is getting a pacemaker done on wednesday she is 4 and we was wondering can CB radios interfere with it because her father has one at home it is his hobby he talks to people all over the world on it so he was wondering will he need to get rid of it before she comes home after getting it done.

I wouldn't run over 200 amps if antenna is away from house. If it is on side of house then no power adder. Keep her away from amplifier...

Not unless...

...in Ireland you can transmit at a whoppingly higher power than you can in the US. Asa I read the US rules, 4 watts output is max allowed.

One of our members routinely passed close to a Ham radio antenna broadcasting about ten watts & never experienced any ill effect.

PM's are pretty well shielded from RF energy, so unless she runs up to his antenna & clutches it to her chest, there probably is no problem. Besides, she should NOT be messing around w/ an active antenna, anyway.
