[Ham-Mac] RF from XM radio

[Robert Lucas]

I was considering installing a XM radio device in my car, as well as in 
my home radio unit. However, after reading online some of the hook-up 
and prelim precautions, I have given it second consideration due to the 
RF emission. Here you are sitting there for a few hours a day with the 
RF flying all around you. We take extra precautions to keep our rigs 
clear, and now throw it to the wind regarding, albeit, a small dose of 
the same.

Could anyone with any experience with this kind of situation give me a 
heads-up as to just how much RF is given off in the transfer process to 
your regular radio and the surrounding area.

I realize that this is slightly out-of-content with the aim of this 
forum but I felt that perhaps others might be going through the same 
situation and therefore could be assisted by my question.

I might add that I don't use a cell 'phone, simply for the same reason 
that right up against your brain, you are radiating yourself with 
approx. 1/2 w. of RF.

Thank You,

Bob
