Are intrinsically safe portable radios required in certain areas of a hospital? Several members of our amateur radio club which operate a HF and VHF radio with Winlink connectivity as emergency communications if needed. We have been asked to occasionally go out of our radio room to provide communications from other areas of the hospital. I am very familiar with IS radios because I retired from a gas company. Just trying to be safe. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong area. I did a search on Google and this forum but did not find the answers.
