I often set up an HF receiver to pick up various data transmissions which I decode on a PC. My (CE marked) Epson printer completely trashes all the HF bands while it is printing, and I was certain that I would have no chance whatsoever of receiving anything while the Ormerod was printing, so I didn't even attempt it until today. I was highly surprised to find this morning that the Ormerod caused absolutely no audible or other interference whatsoever to fairly weak weatherfax stations in the 4MHz, 8MHz or 11MHz bands (so far I haven't tried any other frequencies). The receiver is in a different room but not far away from the Ormerod, and the Ormerod is closer to the receiver than the Epson printer.
As an addition, I guess that Kim has shown that it doesn't interfere with the 137MHz marine VHF band either, else his captain would have been up in arms!
