So, in all honesty, YOU can't really say how dangerous operation of an FM receiver will be; but you KNOW that it's potentially harmful. Given that the aircraft voice comms are just above the FM BCB, and the typical first IF is 10.7 MHz, it's not too hard to imagine the LO sitting right on the tower comm frequency. You may only radiate a microwatt, but you're much closer to that antenna on the aircraft than the tower is. Inverse square law makes it very easy for you to win that contest. This is a pointless argument though. It's a health and safety issue, and you either follow the airline's rules, or I hope they boot you off the plane (optionally, landing first for your convenience) It is just that simple. |
