My 91 year old grandfather had a measure maker put in today.
He is a ham radio enthusiast, has been all his life. This is his only hobby and interest.
Can you tell me if he will still be able to operate his ham radios?
Or will it disorder up his pace maker.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can phone the manufacturer (Medtronic or whoever) and get their response.
I work with industrial strength electromagnetic fields, and I believe there are limits to alert out for.
Even so, I would expect no hint of trouble as long as your grandfather stays away from live, tuned antennas at his 1000 watt limit.
But if it were me, I would check up on anyways.

Yes he will be expert to go ahead with his ham radio work. Tell him to enjoy it even more. My husband got his pacemaker 4 yrs ago and his cardiologist told him he couls do anything he wanted ---except not to use a 'jack-hammer'.---one of those things they bust up unchanging walks and roadways with.They have to hold on to them things to break up the rocks.Other than that he's home free to do eanything he wants.

My peace has a pacemaker and he was told that there are some limits he should watch out for. I suggest that you ask the pacemaker clinic at the local hospital, because you will get many unconventional answers on this and it would be better be safe than sorry.

That's flourishing to depend on his equipment. Microwaves are bad.
I'll bet he will be fine though.
