[Elecraft] Monitor (OT)

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

Just because one Samsung model doesn't have a problem doesn't mean
that all Samsungs are OK!

I bought a LCD monitor from Costco a couple of years ago - I'm fairly
sure it was a Samsung. It didn't have real buttons, but some sort of
touch-sensitive mechanism. Unfortunately it also turned out to be
RF-sensitive, and would turn the monitor off, or bring up the config
menu, etc., when I transmitted on certain frequencies. I returned it,
and bought a Viewsonic, which has real buttons, and have had no
problems with that one.

YMMV, of course....
