- Page 9 the ARRL Lab used EZNEC antenna-modeling soft- ware to estimate the field strength near the inverted- antenna end insulator (see Figure 8) owned by the author, and found that the measurements of this in- strument underestimated the EMF readings by ap- proximately 30 dB! This instrument should not be used for any RF-safety or RF-compliance measure- ments.
- Page 10 nel 6. I observed signal levels increasing as I got closer to the devices. I have another temperature sensor, which found that too, and I was surprised to see it was on 915 MHz, another ISM band. I then started to look at the Wi-Fi band using the RF Browser mode, and it showed a sweep of this band.
