[Synthesised transmitters and mobile phones]

SInce the BMFA published safety bulletin No. 6 regarding possible interference between mobile phones and syntheised transmitters, I haven't come across any follow-up information or developments. I think the bulletin came out at the end of 2004 and was published in RCM&E around December 2004. See url=http://www.bmfa.org/news/bulletins/sb6_mobiles.html]Safety bulletin 6

It was stated that the UKRCC would be carrying out further investigations and making recommendations, but I haven't heard anything more - perhaps I missed it?

I am considering the purchase of a synthesised set, possibly the Multiplex Cockpit SX, but would like to hear anyone's comments about any practical problems and precautions needed when using synthesised sets. Is it only the TX that is affected, or can synthesised RXs also be affected?

I also recall that the information published in RCM&E stated that this may be a problem with all 'programmable' sets, which I assume would include all computer sets, whether synthesised or not?

Can anyone throw any light on these matters, please, particularly those of you who are now 'synthesised'!?

Thanks, Steve.

Yes please! Can't wait!

P.S. I own every issue of RCM&E since 1973 (although I bet somebody has more); I think I qualify for a loyalty bonus - perhaps a Mini Aviator?
