[Elecraft] IMac pro RFI

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

There's something seriously wrong with that machine's RFI sensitivity..

I've used several computers - desktop and notebook alike - within three feet
of the end of my 130 foot wire with no sign of RFI whatsoever at 100 watts.
The RF voltage is sufficient that I leave a burned out CFL sitting on the
desk that lights up whenever I hit the key. 

These are all Windows machines, but the OS should not be an issue.

Of course the store is likely to try to convince you it's the environment at
home that's at fault. Be sure to point out the other machines that are NOT
affected. No better rebuttal than that.

> My wife just purchased a new Imac desktop and with my KX1, K2 and K3 I am
causing her screen to jump all around. She has a laptop mac along side and
it is just fine as well as her Ipad. The antenna I have is a dipole in the
attic and the other antenna is the High Sierra sidekick in the backyard. The
output can go as low as 3 watts and it still gives her Mac grief. I have
removed the mouse and keyboard and it does the same thing. I have also put
clamp on chokes on the AC line. It seems that it is the Imac that is giving
me the trouble as my desktop in the next bedroom has no trouble what so ever
at any power I can deliver to the rigs. Any help would be appreciated.
