I have a little 8000 or 10000 btu one for my 12 x 20 shack. Keeps it
nice and cool with 4 or 5 computers, screens, rigs, amps, etc. One is
CCH and the other is a Honeywell for my shop office. I have never
noticed any noise from either. They both sit on the floor with an
adapter to vent the hot air.

Holy Moly! 2 tons of A/C for a shack? That's enough for a whole house!

The window a/c in my shack finally gave up the ghost after 40 years of
reliable service. I need a replacement right away, since especially with
the station equipment running it gets too hot in summer to even be inside
the shack without a/c. Looking preferably for something with simple
thermostat control and no hi-tech, RFI spewing technology such as switching
power supplies, pulse-width controlled variable speed motors and digital
stuff that will likely fail after a couple of years.
Around 20k - 25k BTU; the old one is 23k. Checked local stores and about
the only brands they have are LG, General Electric and Frigidaire, and not
a lot of selection in the 25k BTU range.
From on-line searches and product reviews, I have surmised that L-G units
are very quiet and efficient but filled with the very kind of electronics
that generates RFI. G-E gets poor customer reviews with complaints of bad
customer support and poor replacement parts availability. Frigidaire gets
the best customer reviews, but of course none of the on-line information on
any of them makes even a fleeting mention of RFI.
It will be mounted in a hole in the wall about 8' high from the floor, so
installation of a 130-150 lb unit will be a challenge, and the thing has to
be reliable due to the near impossibility of pulling it out for servicing.
Any advice based on someone's recent experience?
