i can confirm that 2.4gHz is aprox the frequancy of a standard home microwave. (Learnt this when setting up a wireless network between 2 houses, and it would work occasionally then drop out when the microwave was switched on )
How safe is your microwave? It should be fairly well shielded to prevent it from emitting large interferrence to other 2.4Ghz equipment
the link was VERY weak to start with. I don't know this was dad doing the linking i'm just repeating what he said when that happened

our microwave knocks out our 2.4 Ghz phone.
keep in mind, microwave 1KW transmitter, phone ~ 1mW transmitter.
dosent take much leakage for it to overpower it.
though the new one dosent.
the main danger from microwave radiation (as i understand it) is cooking your corneas. (The lens of your eye), if that gets much hotter than about 45c or so (i think) it gets damaged, and the thing is you cant feel it, you have no nerves in it. _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets

wouldnt bother me ;-P the most modern thing in my car is the radio, and that *literally* uses a bit of string for the tuner. _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets
Just to let people know, it might only be hobbyco in sydney that's done this, but the 4ch futaba skysport is now only $179 for the whole reciever and three servo package! Damn... I paid $19 more for mine Highly recommended controler for new builders.
