--I got an email question tonight from one of our new Tech Licensees-

Brian I have a very important question for you re: EMI

I had a nuero stimulator implanted in my spine on the 12th and I have
been instructed to avoid EMI

I want to know before I set up my rig If you know of anyone that might
have a IMPLANTED DEVICE that I might talk to regarding this situation

I want to set up my rig but can not afford to screw up this 26
thousand dollar implanted device because I did something stupid

I would appreciate any and all help you might give me on this because
as I have told you I am not electrically smart

Thank you

-- I had never thought of this before but I know there are a lot of
people with medical implants that are controlled by RF. If anybody
has some info please share and I will forward it.

Surely the surgeon knows what frequencies are detrimental to the device, and
which frequencies control the functions of the settings.
I'd start with questions to him, Stan.

OR NOT, THE ANSWER IS MORE POWER!
