Hi Ed and all,

I have had two Mitsubishi split systems installed for the past 6 years. No 
noticeable RFI from them on HF or 50 mhz.  The tower and antennas are located 
approximately 50-60 feet from both the outside units and the inside units.  The 
model numbers are as follows: System 1 - indoor unit , MSZ-FE18NA-8; outdoor 
unit MUZ-FE18NA and System 2 - indoor unit MSZ-FE12NA-8, outdoor unit 
MUZ-FE12NA-1.  Hope this helps to build your list of “RF quiet” systems.

73,
Dave, K2DP
