Keep VHF Radio Antenna At Least 1 Meter Away From Our Heads?
I have just received a ICOM fix-mounted VHF radio. To my surprise, its
instruction says that I must keep the bottom of the radio antenna at least 1-meter (3.3 feet) away from our heads if the antenna is mounted in a small boat. I have never heard this before. Is this for real? Does this have something to do with strong radio frequency may boil our brain or cause cancer? Does this restriction also apply to 3dB antenna? Does this mean that I need to use an extension to keep the radio antenna further away from our heads? Thanks in advance for any info about this "unexpected" restriction. Jay Chan |
