Walker High-Def Links v. Cell Phone EMI-RFI

albert...that makes sense. when presenting and using a microphone my blackberry causes the microphone to garble when it "checks in". I always have to put it aside or turn it off.

I wonder what these signals are doing to our brain cells while holding it against our head for hours at a time. I guess we'll find out in about 20 years.

Scary thing, I'm afraid 3G is microwave frequencies.

While it's definitely a cell phone network thing, it's not limited to 3G. I've heard this phenomenon in our home (restricted to the TV) for more than 10 years...long before 3G networks existed in our service area.

I got my first cell phone in 1985 when they were the size of a suitcase and went in the trunk of your car :^).

I've owned dozens of handheld phones, each in their "popular era" including Motorola, Nokia, Oki, Kenwood, Treo, Samsung, iPhone, etc. I'm not doubting your experience but in our market with Southwest Bell = Cingular= AT&T, this never occurred until the 3G network went up.

I'm not doubting you, it's probably due to the fact I watch so little TV, I never noticed until it impacted my music and computer.

Lokie- If a cellphone can do this for a steak, just think what it will do for your head: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=przkFZJSkOc&feature=related) Talk about an "upgrade"!

If you think this is a problem through your home system, you ought to hear what it sounds like through a bank of wireless microphone receivers connected to a PA system. Always fun...
