M2dude....question for you...

M2dude,

I was curious....I'll ask you, since you seem to be switched on regarding
RADAR....in the new RADARs, you are warned to be at least 15 meters from the transmitting antenna. (Airbus says not to turn it on when on the ground, if there are people or things within 15 meters.)

But, regarding the old stuff....like the 60 KW stuff you mentioned....what is the minimum safe distance to be when such a RADAR is transmitting?
I've always thought it was 100 meters....but someone, recently, said it was much less.

Just curious....



Fly safe,
