Hi Albert,
Here are a few suggestions... When I added my furnace, I made it part
of the purchase contract that there was to be no new RFI. This makes
the vendor very careful. Tell them it is a showstopper, and they will
be responsible for RFI removal if RFI comes with the new purchase. Get
it in writing if possible.
Insist they call the manuafacturer and ask about RFI for the unit you
are considering, and are there RFI kits for that unit, PRIOR to your
purchase...
Be careful assuming brand and model numbers will remain RFI quiet over
time. Vendors change parts, and circuits, within a fixed model number
all the time... What is RFI quiet today, may not be RFI quiet tomorrow...
Take measurements first, before the install, and after install. Use
this process:

It is part I of III in a series on using an SDR to model your RFI
environment. Perform the tests, save the results, then run them all
again after install... I run a full sweep once a year here, and keep
the results... Also see my March 2020 article in CQ on this subject...
Good luck, and good for you for looking at this early!!!
73, and thanks,

Does anyone have suggestions for an RF quiet ductless, also called a "mini
split" heat pump system. I am in need of a small (12000 BTU) system for the
ham shack. Comments from anyone who has used such a system, or successfully
mitigated RFI on a system would be appreciated. Brand and model number would
be highly appreciated.
