Itron Centron C1SR models<\/strong> have \u00a0“Radio Frequency Personality Module allows meter data <\/span>to be collected automatically, helping to save time, improve reliability, increase accuracy and ensure data security.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Note : This one has a FCC sticker, the one above it (C1S) does not have a FCC sticker.<\/span><\/p>\n

Video of an ANALOG Meter with RF<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

“my meter spiked as high as the meter would allow this meter was set on gauss reading. \u00a0The neighbors smart meter showed 6-8 gauss. \u00a0The readings on the outside my microwave oven while running was less than and equal to this reading the difference is I use my microwave oven maybe 10 minutes out of the day to bake potatoes and the meter on my house puts out the same or more 24\/7. \u00a0 You do know not to stand too close to a microwave don’t you? \u00a0Even though it does not burn you they know it causes health effects.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From StopSmartMeters.Org<\/a> and EIwellspring.org<\/a>: \u00a0“As if smart meters weren\u2019t creepy enough, it appears that utility companies have been hiding wireless transmitters \u00a0in so-called \u2018analog<\/strong>\u2019 meters, without informing the public. \u00a0You might be paying hundreds of dollars a year for a meter that looks like a safe analog with a spinning disc or dials, but it is still pulsing microwave radiation. \u00a0 Sound like a bait & switch scam? \u00a0It is.” \u00a0(Link: \u00a0http:\/\/stopsmartmeters.org\/2013\/10\/11\/trojan-horse-analog-meters-investigated\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

EIwellspring.org<\/a>: \u00a0“There are meters available which transmit by wireless or by PLC [power line carrier], which both can cause health problems.” \u00a0Here is a link that includes pictures, revealing what an analog electric meter with a wireless transmitter in it looks like: \u00a0http:\/\/www.eiwellspring.org\/smartmeter\/StealthMeters.htm<\/a>.<\/p>\n
