Involuntarily have a SM on my house currently. FPL - we’ve only lost service a couple times in a yr. And after HURRICANE WILMA we were only out 2.5 days! Across the street was out for 2 wks though. Gotta hand it to FPL on that one. Hurricane Andrew wiped out electricity for 2 months.
Last month’s electric bill was $50 for 29 days. $1.75/day.
I don’t like the freq. though. It’s microwave. Microwaves fry. Depends on the duration, proximity etc. but it is not negligable. Our houses are CBS, so that’s the only reason I don’t care about the EMR. If I was in a wooden house, I would be more concerned.
Didn’t the original engineer for Motorola’s cell phone get a brain tumor?
No, it's not.
Microwaves used in your oven are around 2.45 GHz. The frequency is chosen because it's a peak in the absorption vs. frequency graph for water molecules. Those waves are designed to "jiggle" water and heat it.
Major electric meter companies: Landis & Gyr, GE (no longer in the home meter market), SmartSync, Itron and Elster ALL use 902-928 MHz. I know because I work for one of them (not going to tell you which one).
That is not microwave. That is UHF.
And by the way, all of our meters put out less than 1 Watt at 902-928 MHz (most are less than 1/4 Watt). Amateur radio operators are LEGALLY allowed to transmit 1,500 Watts on 902-928 MHz, aimed right at your house.
And believe me, I would do it.
