Dave has given good advice. I'll add that variable-speed motor
controllers are a well known cause of RFI.

I told my heating company when I replaced my heater, that I did not
care what they installed as long as it did not generate RFI, above a
set level on my radio.

I also had that written into the contract, and that if it did, they
had two months to solve it, or replace the unit.

This caused them to do their homework in advance of suggesting a unit
to me.  We took S meter readings on all bands, and I gave them a
copy.  I got a RFI quiet heater.  No variable speed fan. I'm OK with
that.  As per the installers, it turns out most manufactures have a
non variable speed option.

Get it in writing!  Don't trust a handshake.

Time for a new furnace.  Does anyone have any RFI experience,
positive or
negative, with an Amana variable 2-speed gas furnace?

Thanks!
