Ambient /Background RF level in San Francisco, Oakland /Berkeley, CA

[Guest guest]

I am hoping to hear from anyone who has taken street level ambient /Background

RF readings in San Francisco, Oakland /Berkeley.

My Tes-92 is reading between 600 to 2000 µW/m2 on various street locations in

SF,OAK/BKY, while my Cornet meter is reading between 15 to 60 µW/m2 at the same

respective locations.

I am very curious to know whether readings from your meter(s) are closer to my

Tes-92 or Cornet. I just don't know which of my 2 meters are closer to the

truth.

The Tes-92 itself specifies that at 500 Mhz, it would over-state measurements

greatly. But would there be such a large amount of 500MHz RF's at street level?

I wonder.

Also, I got a constant 4000 µW/m2 reading when near a fire station. I wonder

why. I don't think they use 500 Mhz, and even if they do, the signal shouldn't

be so constant, right? There should be RF only when they are actively talking,

which shouldn't be all the time.

Comments from anyone having any insight on any of the above would be

appreciated.

Thanks,

Ann
