Nextel Interference

[Patches]

HK:

What is that weird noise you hear that comes from telephones, radios, etc. whenever you use a Nextel phone in their vicinity? The weird thing is, if you are near a regular phone and your Nextel rings, the reqular phone makes the weird noise before the Nextel even rings.

I am not so sure I want something that powerful that close to my brain.

Its not just NexTel phones, its all cellphones.

All cellphones are nothing more than a high powered, glorified, walkie talkie that does the "over" over and the "over and out" for you.

Since they need to talk to cellphone towers that sometime can be fairly distant they need a high powered radio signal. That radio signal can (and does) cause interference on other electronics when its used at close range.

Peace & Hugs.

I've only noticed this phenomenon with nextels. Do they emit a more powerful signal?

Probably, I have both a nextel (for work) and a verizon (personal) and they both cause interferences.

I agree the NexTel seems to cause more interference, it could be because of a stronger signal or because of less shielding, or simply that the frequency it uses is more disruptive than other cellphone's.

If you have cheap amplified speakers on your computer (like I do) try receiving a call on your nextel while next to the speakers, and turn those puppies way up!!!

Groovy....

Or even near a radio, try this during Tom Lykis's program as it is unlikely to spoil your enjoyment of a good program that way.

I repeatedly slam my NexTel into walls, floors, steering wheels, my forehead and anything else in my immediate vicinity.

It doesn't help.

i always know when i'm about to get a call, because 3 seconds before the nextel rings, my speakers crackle. I don't want to think of the amount of EM radiation my brain's being exposed to.

The phenomenon isn't limited to Nextel phones. It occurs in all unshielded electrical devices that are near other electrical devices. (That's one reason why the cables for your computer are so expensive.)

There was a big news "story" a few years back about the danger of brain tumors from using cellular phones. Like the "Deadly Bacteria in the Yogurt" story, there has yet to be a single fatality attributed to it. How deadly can it be? And what's a little tumor compared to convenience!

All cellphones are nothing more than a high powered, glorified, walkie talkie that does the "over" over and the "over and out" for you.Cell phones are not "high-powered" in comparison to walkie-talkies. In fact, they usually operate on the order of mW (miliwatts) whereas most walkie-talkies transmit a watt or more.

Digital phones commonly operate with a transmit power of about 600mW. This is one of the reasons reception inside of buildings usually isn't that great if you're a fair distance from a tower. Frequency has something to do with it as well (900MHz and 1800MHz do not travel through buildings too well).

When a call comes into a cell, it sends an acknowledgement to the tower to let it know that it is ON and receiving the incoming signal. Inside the phone is a process going on that produces frequencies other than the transmit and receive frequencies (IC clocks, IFs, etc) which can fall in the range of FM or AM. Long, unshielded wire can act as an antenna, channeling the "noise" into the circuits of radios or speakers.

As for hearing this kind of noise with NEXTEL phones more than others, it is likely that the "walkie talkie" feature opens the phone's "front end" a little, and lets a little more noise leak out.

Wilee Budday,

You are preaching to the choir my friend, I know exactly how cellphones work, I was just trying to simplify it with a comparison to something that most people can relate to, Not trying to write a technical paper about it.
