"Acceptable limits" of what? Personal exposure - or adverse affects upon unspecified nearby electronics? There obviously are no "calculations" to conclusively determine whether or not all varieties of electronic devices can be affected (regardless of duty cycle, RF levels, suitability of shielding, etc). This graph seems to be making recommendations addressing biological exposure only.
I only worried about personal exposure. I figured I would find out if I had systems interference.
Satellite phone is mostly a different use case than two-way radio services like ham, CB, or GMRS. You can use a phone to call a specific individual/vehicle, or in an emergency to call 911.
I saw that! The way you did it, you would only have to run that ethernet cable all the way up to the head on the dash. I did seriously consider that, because - in addition to the FTM-500, you can mount other stuff in the subwoofer cavity, right near you mounted your radio, tucked out of the way. You get environment protection, access to power (that was the issue I had; current draw). Lots of pluses - shorter antenna runs, less fan noise, access to good grounds, etc.
The original poster, PhilB, stated "...it's about how it might negatively affect the electronics in the Bronco." So this graph could cause some confusion.
I didn't post any graph...and my comment about RF exposure was because of this statement above: "It also may be too close for electromagnetic safety."
Yes, I routed the coax through the pressure relief opening in the tailgate. Just lifting one of the rubber flaps enabled me to route the two PL-259s without drama.
