So you feel that all of "those" people's issue's are caused by just knowing the electronic meter is there?
(Not a smartass question) as I know people do this kind of stuff.
My Mother in law will somtimes say to us "Your neighbor must be smoking, because I'm getting a headache" :-D
Seriously.
It makes me laugh, but I try to keep an open mind about stuff like this as being at least possible until proven otherwise.
I do know that apparently some people are RF sensitive, so this is where I thought this was centered.
Here's what I know. Bear in mind I'm 65, got my first amateur license in about 1965, and have worked in and out of RF all my life.
1...There are ZERO documented cases of actual damage to people in any fashion by means of RF radiation, except in extreme, "obvious" cases...........such as
tower climbers who came across a damaged HIGH POWER microwave waveguide emitting concentrated hi power
occasionally some "kid" decides to bypass the door safeties on a microwave.
"stuff like that." When I say zero, I'm talking about alleged brain cancer from cellphones and other low power devices. None of this has ever been proven.
2...To repeat, any wireless device, your router, your laptop wireless device, bluetooth, any of these what has become household items emit far more radiation and far more often that the tiny, low powered device in any meter. Hell, BABY MONITORS output more RF than a so called smart meter
(On a side note, a baby monitor is a free look into your house 24 hours a day. It has a microphone which picks up anything nearby, and transmits it for several blocks surrounding your house)
3...Anybody that seriously believes there are "cameras and microphones in electrical outlets" needs mental help, not RF shielding. Tin hats by the way, are not RF shielding
4...The idea that you "feel" RF radiation is preposterous. RF radiation causes heating in tissues, exactly the same way microwave ovens work. Generally, you would go blind before anything else. "The joke" in my Navy days used to be you would go sterile. The fact is, that by that time, you wouldn't be able to see what you were sterile "with."
I would suggest that some of you that REALLY think these meters are dangerous actually do some real life testing. Go buy an RF spectrum analyzer. You can get them on Ebay. I've got an old HP853 series display, which takes several different analyzer modules, covering up into the microwave range
Below is a quick shot of "some of my junk"
Top photo is the 853A series analyzer
Middle photo,
The analyzer on the left is a very old and beat up 141T series, with tracking generator on top. The one at bottom center is the 853A, with an old HP signal generator on top, the tracking gen for the 853 on top of that, and a very nice frequency counter at very top. And on top of THAT is a couple of more RF modules for the 853 analyzer
To the far left of the photo are the covered fronts of an old IFR 1000S RF monitor, and below that, an old CT Systems 3000 series. Even THAT old girl has a very poor spectral display in it.
The bottom photo is some more of my beat up pile of outdated but still somewhat useful test gear
Top left, an old Tektronix scope, sitting on top of a still very useful Motorola RF service monitor. Even this old girl has a rudimentary spectrum analyzer good to 1 ghz.
To the right are various sweep generators, and out of the photo is yet another obsolete HP o'scope frame which as a TDR (time domain reflectometer) installed, with what are called "amplitude swept analyzer" modules." These are the fore-runners to todays modern network analyzers.
