Maybe now I can make some headway - or buy a new monitor... 73, Jim KO5V ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
I wish there was a list somewhere of monitors that are currently in
production and easily purchasable that are known to be quiet on the RF front. I've used the remediation suggestions offered in this thread, and have found them to help but not cure the symptoms I see. Buying and trying monitors seems like it could be a very involved process.

I know it is really aggravating but many places offer a reasonable
return policy. If they don't, I won't buy. So......l'd buy one, take it home, use it for a few days, if it is noisy or doesn't do what you wish......take it back for a refund. Do watch for "in store credit" on some merchandise. Heck, I know of folks that will go to one of the "big box hardware stores" buy a pressure washer or paint sprayer, do the job they need, take it back as being defective and get their money back. Do check the return policy however. On the other hand, it sure beats buying or renting a piece of seldom used equipment. Of course we as customers pay for this activity under the heading of "shrinkage". 73 Bob, K4TAX On 5/26/2019 7:53 PM, Frank O'Donnell wrote: > I wish there was a list somewhere of monitors that are currently in > production and easily purchasable that are known to be quiet on the RF > front.

It's one thing to purchase a product and find out it's not suitable (RFI).To buy something, use it, and then return it hurts us all. The big box stores force manufacturers to take these back and since they're used, they can't be sold as new and are written off. We all pay for that.I would get some new friends.73,Gary K9GS______________________________________________________________Elecraft mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraftHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:[hidden email] list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
