Some of the older units (i.e., the early 70's) did indeed pack a punch
that could do the operator some serious harm if he wasn't careful.
Nowadays we get more radiation from the microwave ovens in our homes.
For example, the radar I currently use has a nominal power output of
15 mw and a maximum of 50 mw.  Add to this the fact the two antennas
are pointed away from the vehicle's interior plus the fact actual
transmitting time amounts to only a few minutes per shift (the rest is
in standby or hold mode) and you can see the risk is less than we get
from the routine use of a cell phone.
