I'm not selling anything and I'm not buying anything! A question was asked about a monitor, which happened to be a Samsung, and I was only providing a firsthand experience that none of my Samsung monitors, or any other brand of monitor that I have used at my station, have had the problems mentioned by the email originator. Of course if one does not put their station together in a manner that minimizes RFI, it possible that NO monitor could withstand that environment.

With a bit of luck, it's the aerial doing the transmitting and receiving, not the amplifier. This brings several variables into the equation, such as aerial gain and direction (if any), height and distance from the shack. Add to that short list; power levels, receive sensitivity, frequency in use and background noise levels .... These variables will no doubt ensure a host of different answers for similar monitors !

I bought a LCD monitor from Costco a couple of years ago - I'm fairly sure it was a Samsung. It didn't have real buttons, but some sort of touch-sensitive mechanism. Unfortunately it also turned out to be RF-sensitive, and would turn the monitor off, or bring up the config menu, etc., when I transmitted on certain frequencies. I returned it, and bought a Viewsonic, which has real buttons, and have had no problems with that one. YMMV, of course.... ~iain / N6ML On Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 8:15 AM, Tommy Alderman <[email protected]> wrote: > I think your information is incorrect?
