Hello,
We purchased some 2-way radios for our children this Christmas. Since
then, lately, there has been much media attention regarding cell phone
usage being dangerous for children. These scientific studies suggest
that children under 14 years of age shouldn't use cell phones because
their skulls are not thick enough to protect their developing brains
from the EMF exposure form cell phones.
Do 2-way radios present the same problem as cell phones? Should I not
allow our children to use these 2-way radios?
Here are the specs of our 2 Way Radios:
Brand:
Motorola
Model:
"Talk About"
fr50
channels:
14
operating frequency:
UHF-462.550 - 467.725 MHz
There is a note in the Motorola fr50 manual regarding the safety of
using these radios due to EMF. It indicates to keep the radio 2 - 3
inches from your mouth when transmitting and to keep the antenae at
least 1 inch away from head and body when transmitting.
However, considering these recent newer published studies pointing to
possible dangers of using cell phones is it reasonable to conclude that
children under 14 also shouldn't be using 2-way radios such as the
Motorolla fr50s or perhaps any 2-way radio?
