[Elecraft] Quiet Ductless HVAC System

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

And one must remember that most folks will spend the least amount of 
money necessary to get the HVAC system working or perhaps install a new 
system.  And most of these folks have no clue about RFI, but are only 
concerned if their abode is hot or cold, warm or comfortable.

As a purchasing manager I know once said "that's the best part we can 
buy for under a nickel".

You must remember that the parts that go in much of this equipment is 
supplied by the lowest bidder.

Realistically when you see the number of active hams who buy AC products 
vs the number sold you will realize it a very uphill battle. Very noisy 
led bulbs have been sold for how long? They are a known source too.

  When price is the major factor quality always suffer. You can't have 
both.
