the IIA uses spectrum near 108Mhz for airnav beacons, some of the flight paths crosses much of Dublin city and yes they are low power compared to the airnav beacons.how likely are these transmitters to interfere with aviation though? I always thought these were pretty low power transmissions (to the extent that placement in the car is considered an issue with some car/transmitter combinations).
are humans in a plane coming in to land 'sensitive' would you think yourself ??Or is aviation equipment particularly sensitive?
You are my man, stay below 107Mhz in Dublin or Shannon or Cork where the spectrum is in use between 108Mhz and 118Mhz for aviation safety purposes .Obviously this is an area to err on the side of caution in any event due to the potentially serious consequences.

However, it does not fit the cigarette lighter thingy in my car!!! It is slightly too wide. Has anyone any experience of this happening.
I think cigarette lighters in cars must be wider in the USA. Does anyone know of an adaptor that might work?

In the UK, these are 'outlawed' under 1949 legislation.
And Lidl are stocking them next week: [broken link removed].
Looks as if these will now be legalised :

I smile at the point that they are illegal to use, but legal to buy or sell.
