HI David,

I had two split systems installed several years ago at my house.  The antennas 
(HF thru 6 mtrs) are located in the backyard,, the tower height is 40 ft, so 
the antennas are anywhere from 50-70 ft from the two outside units and further 
away from the “inside” units.  I chose the Mitsubishi systems at the time of 
purchase.  I have not noticed any HF/50mhz/ 144 or 440 mhz interference from 
those  systems.

fwiw,

Dave, K2DP
St. Louis, MO
