[RFI] Air Conditioner / Heat Pump recommendations

[Thomas Mills]

I had a new Carrier unit installed two years ago, and it has the DC blower fan.  I immediately started having interference.  I added a ferrite choke on the blower motor leads and the problem was solved, and I never had the interference return.  Easy fix here and I still have the high efficiency unit.

No RFI 160-2 meters as far as I can tell.  The HVAC air handler and furnace are located less than 40 feet from the shack.
