Would it make an effective faraday cage or are there seams and spaces?

Inside the briefcase is the places to put pens/receipt books and other items you carry to conduct business, in my opinion you could put a laptop in this to keep it safe, is that what you are asking?

I have heard a shielded cable works to cut down magnetic interference.I thought about that and wonder if it's not just the fact that the cable is thicker that make a difference.In effect cutting a form of interference in the form of resistance. Another cause,which would suck would be faulty internal wiring.

it should greatly increase the ability to connect to it. However it is cheaply made and very delicate. IF you buy it make sure you move the antenna's as little as possible. It should not be a big problem so long as it is kept stationary. This may be overkill if your just looking for something to help connect in a house.

aluminum siding (or foil sheathed insulation board, or a metal trailer) turns your house into a Faraday cage... RF cannotget in or out, except thru holes (windows, etc) -- so you can only use an indoor antenna if you put it near a windowfacing toward the antenna's you need to pick up from. Good luck.. problem I have with my condo... hard to get aroundit, and I can't put an antenna outside, which is the best solution.

I bought this for emergency preparedness, I keep it in my faraday cage; I hope I never have to use it!

First response I think of is whether there is adequate signal and if the lights light up quicker if you move the antenna to a different direction? Next thing I think of is a loose connection from the side mounted switch to the antenna power line at the antenna itself? It is good to test the connection before sealing it all up, but I really don't want to go there! Good luck!

The antenna needs to be placed high next to a window. Make sure that all connections are snuggly tight.

Magnetic field strength declines in an inverse square to distance, so if you keep it on the other side of the room, you won't get brain cancer. That said, I'm not certain it would matter.

Not unless you cut a larger hole. (That's what I did). But Safety 1st does make one for surge protectors.

I am not sure if it would block everything. A Lead liner is the only thing that would do it for sure and I don't know how it would be done safely. Should you try the conductive shielding (ArgenMesh), I would double the layers&gt; This is just my thoughts, I could be wrong!

Everything is emp proof if it is in a faraday cage. Otherwise any electronic will be destroyed. (Including this)

i dont think it would work well. it has a probe the sit about an inch off of the bottom and about 4 inches into the cavity. it wont take much heavy duty use. i have melted the bottom of two from overheating the electronics in the bottom of the unit.

In my opinion they would have to be very carefully spaced. I am not sure about having any overlapping fields of signal. (call the company)I would not recommend that type of use as these units don't have all the controls that the in-ground systems have.It may work but I would not recommend it but I would call the company. They may have larger control system that don't need wires.

It would work but, for a setup like that you would probably be best off going with 1, 30 foot cord rather than 2, 15 feet cords because you will get better conductivity.

I doubt it. I had it attached to the top of a window pointing in the right direction and it was still flaky. You want a clear shot and as high as possible. Antennaweb is extremely optimistic in my experience.

No piece of equipment that is electronic in nature is "EMP Proof". The best way to achieve this is to shield the radio in a faraday cage or electronic shielding antistatic bag.

Imagine it depends on how slanted. But I'd say the chances are good. And certainly better than something with magnets on a nonmetal surface would.
