This is what an informed source says on the subject....
Barrie Trower recently said this on the subject....
The comments from serving and former police on police forums suggest the TETRA system is dangerous and does not meet the standards claimed by the manufacturers.
Not really a informed source, why is he using a microwave detector when TETRA does not use microwaves?
The microwaves used in the TETRA system are in the non-ionising section of the electromagnetic spectrum and I will be discussing the arguments concerning microwaves and health in this report.
Heart problems; Blood problems; Interference with bone marrow; Tumours; Calcium interference; 46% reduction in night-time melatonin; It is believed that during the daytime light going through our eyes passes a message to the pineal glands in the brain which slows down the production of melatonin. At night when no light goes through our eyes the production of melatonin is speeded up. Melatonin is believed to scavenge cancer cells and impurities in our bodies and boost the immune system. If an officer is sleeping in quarters within range of the TETRA transmitter, the microwave radiation is believed to act on the pineal gland and suppress the night-time melatonin to daytime levels; hence the good work of the melatonin at night will be restricted leading to suppression of the immune system. Increased arthritis; Skin problems; Ear problems; Risk to leukaemia; Childhood cancer; Sleep problems; Depression; Memory loss; Difficulty in concentrating; Mental conditions;

The microwaves used in the TETRA system .....
To provide confidentiality the TETRA air interface is encrypted using one of the TETRA Encryption Algorithm (TEA) ciphers.
3. ANTENNAS MOUNTED IN THE PACKAGE TRAY-Lets face it, this is the cheapest and easiest antenna and also the easiest way to get 'burned' in more than one way. Not only are they identifiable from the outside of the car (the baseball hat or tissue box gag is a dead give away) but they expose the officer inside the car to unacceptably high levels of radiation especially on higher power or higher frequency radios, especially if he is on the point in the backseat next to the thing. Resist any use of this dirt cheap and simpleton antenna.
4. PATCH MOUNT ANTENNAS ON THE GLASS- This is another Hodge podge thing that exposes the vehicle occupants to unacceptably high levels of radiation from the radio. High levels of radiation from the radio could result in something like cancer to grow. Studies have shown that your eyes and brain and other organs are susceptible to heating from RF radiation and while power line companies continue to discount and cause confusion, one should not risk their health from something that is so simple to avoid. Use one of our embedded Bumper / License plate antennas to keep the radio signals where they belong - OUTSIDE THE CAR.

To a layman like myself it seems the high power secure radio systems are known to cause cancer. Those racing car drivers need to learn about the risks.
Not being able to tell the difference between the scary waves and the information on them.

TETRA is just a way of stopping people listening in on your communications. Anyone can use it. Even Formula 1 racing teams use TETRA radios ***.

The Airwave TETRA system is not for public or commercial use. Only approved groups can join the 'sharers list'.

So once again, there may or may not be an issue with the interaction of radio waves on the human body. Thats a discussion for an another thread.

You said anyone can use it. That isn't the case.

sory mr.op i want to ask something
1.if this such weapon using radion signal then every stuff that using radio frequency can get into its system?
2.is radio signal really safe? i think it can be jamm and easly hack?
3.why radio? why not use some high energy and safe from hyjack? like laser, infrared, wifi or bluetooth or some kind of that..?
tq so much..i ask with my respect to you ..

Another possible use for TETRA is to spy on police and their families at home while the set is charging.

There's a huge amount of medical evidence yet to come in on that one.
I am a Crime Scene Examiner for Lancashire Police - who as you will know were the first to use Tetra. We are concerned about the health risks since implementation but getting anything done about it is extremely difficult. We believe we are even more vulnerable to the effects as we use our own vehicles and not police vehicles - no hands-free or external aerial. There are [...] of us based in [...] and (all but one) of us are suffering from symptoms ranging from headaches/toothache/neuralgia to high blood pressure, and even a cancerous tumour in the throat. It is the tumour which has finally been the last straw and today we have refused to use them in our vehicles and at scenes (we use metallic fingerprint powders). We are a group of people who love our job and we are not ‘trouble-makers’ - but we are genuine in our belief that these radios are killing us.
