OT - GlobalStar handset transmit power... Does anyone know what the max transmit power is? 1W? 10W? Is this safe? When I worked at Nortel, some work was done investigating how much the human head attenuated the transmission. They weren't to bothered about health affects. (No - they didn't go around shoving interns heads into a microwave. They used a perspex box filled with saltwater, fitted with probes. Apparently, this was a British Standard Head. Amazing what they do at the BSI) I vaguely remember a case where a wireless 'phone engineer sued his employer, Motorola, after he developed a tumour behind his ear. He had been working on wireless 'phones for 7 years or so. I don't remember the outcome.
