[RFI] Fwd: Re: RF quiet HVAC

[Mike Ryan]

The variable speed fan motors or those units with them APPEAR to have 
issues. Not just at start up, but when they are running at any speed. Mine 
was that way and a friend close by had the same crud from one. ( I think his 
was a LEXAIR or something like that.) At any rate, nothing could be done 
about it here but to replace the motor with a single speed unit. All's quiet 
now...  Your results may vary.  - Mike

It would be a great service if the ARRL would publish a database on
their website, with model numbers, of devices to stay away from.
