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.

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.
