Saw a repeat episode of Mythbusters for the first time last night about
the use of cell phones on an airplane and interference with cockpit
instruments. I know that this was mentioned in a November 2006 thread
briefly but the short of it was that they concluded cell phones really
CAN interfere with the VOR signals.


Yeah, sure. In addition to the other objections mentioned, it would be
interesting to know if they used a real cell phone and if they did, where
they got it and if it was damaged in any way. Digital PCS phones, which are
much more common nowadays, are also much less likely to interfere with
avionics.

Mythbusters has been going out on a limb and sawing it off lately.
Mythbusters BUSTED!
