[RFI] Power Line Networking Interference

[David Eckhardt]

I have had two of these devils before the days of wireless routers in a
previous house.  They work for the purpose, but produce lots of RFI, as
reported.  Both went to their graves when, one evening, I found it
necessary to run legal limit on 75-meters to maintain a QSO.  They actually
smoked!  Never bought another.
