IMHO EMC is not really a function of a particular device, it's more 
of a system design problem.

FWIW, I just tested one of my boards (battery powered) with a 
handheld amateur radio transceiver, and it seemed very good. It 
locked up with the antenna a couple of inches away, transmitting on 
144 MHz and 433 MHz, but that would be a *very* strong field, far 
worse than anything that would normally be experienced. It was 
probably caused by the battery leads acting as an antenna. With the 
radio antenna about a foot away, there was no effect. The important 
thing is to get your PCB design right, and use transient suppressors 
appropriately, with filtering on the leads. We used this approach 
where I used to work on all our systems, and we had very few problems 
getting the equipment through the EMC tests we have to use in Europe.
