Actually a lot of them transmit about once a second every second, 24/7
(like what we have which is called a 'firefly').
On some of them that can be adjusted.
The carrier frequencies can be lower than cell phones. But I do believe
I was very affected by a 400 MHz transmitter pulsing twice per second
(but it was strong and not too far away-- I measured 2 V/m, which the
water meter transmitters here are much less than).
