[AMRadio] PACE MAKER QUESTION

[Kevin Raper]

> Does anyone in the group know of anybody that operates on AM with a Pace Maker. I have a buddy whose xyl just got a pacemaker ... The Dr said not more than 100 Watts and at least 20 feet away... Does anyone know the truth in this???

I used to work at a 50 KW AM Broadcast station where the General Manager had a pacemaker. The Main Studio and Transmitter were all on the same site. His office was less than 25 Feet from the Gates VP-50 Transmitter and he had no Ill Effects.

I think it all depends on how well your station is Grounded.

There is no limitation to the fidelity of AM radio. From a mathematical standpoint, AM does better in frequency response than FM. - Leonard Kahn
