John....
Have a plasma TV here which is on most times when I'm operating(XYL!). My
radio room is directly below the TV room and I suffer NO interference on any
band at all (nor do I cause any interference to the TV...we're on cable).
The same holds true for both my radios, my FT-100D and Knwd. TS-950SDX.
7 3 (dah dah di-di-dit di-di-di-dah dah) noooooooooooo di-di-dit at the
end!!!! This from an ol' CW op. and instructor!
