Well, Steve, what can I say - no station should be operated with RF getting
into the equipment. At the 100 watt level from the PRO, I have no problems.
There are well documented and long known methods for dealing with RFI in
audio equipment. While I appreciate your viewpoint, I would not want to
deny myself the pleasure of hearing what the PRO can put out over the
"possibility" of RFI.

Each to his own, Steve . . . you have a good point, but I don't see it as a
positive barrier to using external audio equipment. If you listen around
14178 any evening you will hear stations running *at least* 1500 watts to
monster antennas with racks of sensitive audio gear. It can be done . . .

Thanks for the note.
