About 95% of the time when someone turns on my microwave I lose reception for about 5 or 10 seconds. Its not a power issue. Anyone else have this problem?

That's funny - I have my radio hooked up to portable headphones and now, whenever the phone rings, the headphones make a weird beeping noise and I lose reception for a few seconds. I actually don't mind it because I know when the phone's ringing no matter where I am in the house.

how old is your microwave?

Yes, my s50 did the same thing, I turned to antenna aiming and watched it, when I turn the microwave on, the sattelite strength drops and I lose the station, good way to lose weight, the advertising possibilities are endless

Microwaves do strange things sometimes.

When I had my old laptop, my wireless signal would be dropped when the microwave was running.

Do you find your testicles are shrinking too? If so, might want to have that microwave tested for leakage.

Is it harmful to stare into a microwave? Because I do that all the time.

Yes, but not a problem.

I'm installing a vending machine into my kitchen so that I don't have to use the microwave any more. Nothing but ready to eat foods and instant satisfaction. I just hope the cupcakes don't run out to quickly.

And what do you see?

yes, the microwave affects the cordless phone (when I'm using the phone) .

and before anyone asks why I turn on the Microwave while I'm on the phone, the answer is I don't, someone else does and no matter how often I remind them not to, they always forget.

alzheimer's a bitch
:rolleyes:

its happened to me too. i thought i was just buggin out but realized it, tried to mount my ant. in different places but it didnt matter. it doesnt happen that much tho.

And what do you see?

I see dead people.

i lose signal on my orbiter when my laptop is close to it. i usually lay in bed and use my laptop with my orbiter boom box next to me too.. aarrrgghhhh

It could be the microwaves, but it could also be the power loss in the circuit.

If you're old enough, you may remember that when Mom turned on the Blender that the TV would go haywire, and that's because the blender introduced a whole shitload of noise onto the circuit that fucked with the TV.

I'm not saying that's what's happening here, as I don't have the full details of your setup, but it's plausible.

It's probably a power thing. I have my JVC boombox in my room and when I use my paper shredder (which is about 8 feet away) I momentarily lose reception. Just wait for commercials to nuke your food!

A microwave affects things around 2.4Ghz. I notice it affects my 2.4GHZ cordless but not my 900MHz. I also get sirius drops when the microwave is on, the signal goes from 1 to 10 rather wildly.
