I have been using Top Ten band decoders for decades in many different environments both in the US and the Caribbean and I have never seen an RFI issue with it. N3RD also offers excellent support. Unfortunately I am not sure if Top Ten is still in business, all products appear to be out of stock.

Tom - I will give you some unsolicited advice-- The KRC2 was the worst RFI sucking piece of gear I ever owned. I think that being hooked to the guts of the processor in the K3 was a killer -no amount of fiddling would calm it down. Was "usable" at 100 watts but my 80 meter antenna runs across roof about 15 feet above my shack and it would go berserk on 80 at 1500 .I ended up buying BCD to serial boards from UNIFIED MICROSYSTEMS they are opitcally coupled and just take the BCD out of the K3 - They also sell hi side relay driver board as well -

In my case I put both boards inside the control box for my Array Solutions Ratpack 6 antenna switch. It has been
bullet proof . (and a hell of a lot cheaper than a KRC2 )
