[Elecraft] RF radiating appliances

[David Christ]

Unfortunately it may not have been designed to cause RFI but all too 
often neither was it designed to not cause RFI.  In other words it is 
not defective as it does everything the manufacturer promised and 
everything the consumer asked for.  And, sad to say, it does a few 
other nasty things that don't cause problems for the buyer but do for 
his neighbors.  The manufacturer never promised it wouldn't do those 
things.  So from the manufacturer's point of view it is not defective.
