Well, all of that is true of the old technology radar, which emitted 50,000 watts. Those radars would tend to fry whatever happened to be too close. However, the new technology radars, Collins 2400 for example, only emit 25 watts and have a safety zone of only two feet required away from the antennea
Tex.............SHACK!
Today's new radars have 1/10 the energy of the old radars and won't do any harm.
