Hi Steve,
In my case you would be in error... The people I spoke to knew what RFI
was, and had dealt with it prior to me! They called the maker, got them
to agree it would not be an issue, then did the install... As to test
equipment... My receiver is my test equipment. If it makes noise on
the rig, it is broken... Actually I have more equipment, but as far as
the installers are concerned, my receiver is the bottom line.

Thanks,
Dave
