Riddle of the hospital car lock-outs
Mid Sussex Times, UK
________________
More Mid Sussex Times readers have tried to unlock the key to a radio-wave mystery at the Princess Royal Hospital.
Last week, Tony Reynolds came up with the theory that high frequency radio waves from doctors' two-way radios possibly interfered with the central locking system on his Nissan, effectively locking him out of his car.
Many more visitors are experiencing problems, even though the University Hospitals' Trust claims it is aware of only 'a very small number' of cases.

Dave Gittins from Gander Hill in Haywards Heath told us: "I have been stranded in the car park at PRH on numerous occasions over the past couple of years. I was always advised that the problem was to do with the radio antennae on top of the adjacent water tower. Rodney Beck-Slinn, who worked for the AA for over 40 years, said the problem is not unique to the hospital. He recalls being called out to help people parked near a radio mast in Newhaven.
