[RFI] Mini-Split for new ham shack

[Kenny Silverman]

I recently installed a Fujitsu Halcyon split unit with dual zones with the inverter technology.   The compressor and both zones are in the garage and directly below my 80m dipole.  No detectable RFI. YMMV. 

I only have resonant antennas up for 20/40/80/160, but I loaded the 80 on 10, 15 and 20m with no noise. 

Regards , Kenny K2KW

It’s a 10x12 shack with ~12 feet high ceilings, so it’s a small space, but it can get pretty hot up there in summer (sierra foothills of California).  I only have ~30 amps total available so will also need something efficient.
