I have a Friedrich Chill CP06G10B 6000 BTU Window Air Conditioner mounted in
the wall of the upstairs bedroom that is my "shack." No RFI at all. Maybe
they have a model in your BTU range. I did run it before installing it just
to check before cutting the hole in my wall that fits this A/C, while it
would have been easy to return.

supplies, pulse-width controlled variable speed motors and digital stuff

the best customer reviews, but of course none of the on-line information on
any of them makes even a fleeting mention of RFI.
