[Yaesu] Plasma TV interference??

[doc]

Good on you for doing your "due diligence" before buying your TV. I 
never had any RFI problems with either LED flat screens I just bought, 
but I did have other problems. The Sanyo would get into the menu mode 
and I couldn't get it out, it was driving me nuts, so I bought a Sony. 
Problem solved. Both were 42 inch machines for my back room. I was ready 
to throw the Sanyo out the back door, when I called their tech support 
and they  talked me through the problem.The problem was that if I even 
/looked/ at the remote, it would go into the menu mode. I will never 
again buy a Sanyo product!.
