Hi Hans et al
One thing for sure, take a little portable AM receiver or better yet,
a shortwave receiver and listen for birdies. I have one computer here
that I though was a great deal, but it is nothing but a wide band
noise generator. I can pull up in the driveway and hear it screaming
in my AM radio in the car half a block away. It don't matter how good
of a deal you get if it's useless. I use my old 125mhz pentium for
all my ham software. It's super quiet. I even run some dos software
on my old '386 DX40. Seems like the manufactureres aren't paying much
attention to "FCC specifications" any more. New computers are a lot
noiser than the older ones. 73
