Hams are a small minority. Samsung wouldn't even notice.
I only buy my electronics from brick-and-mortar stores with good return
policies, so I can return them if they generate RFI. I think do a thorough
test for RFI on all bands as soon as I get it home. That's worked well for
me, but it does not good when my neighbor doesn't do the same. I have a
noisy solar inverter next door right now that I have to deal with. The RFI
situation is getting worse.
The only real solution to the problem of increasing RFI in the neighborhood
seems to be to build a remote station. Time to buy a lottery ticket and
hope for the best I guess.
