[RFI] RFI experience with Trane HVAC units?

[Dave Cole (NK7Z)]

My tankless has been running RFI quiet for years, with no issues.  Of 
course I have now doomed it to failure by saying this...  I do flush it 
every two years...

I’ve been quoted for the XT95 single stage furnace and for the S9V2 variable speed furnace, along with an XR16 heat pump (a duel fuel system).  From reading the archives, it looks like many (most?) RFI problems have come from the variable speed units.  Does anybody have any RFI experience - either way - with the Trane XT95/XR16 system?
