Ice Tube Clock RFI?

Post by gerryk »

I'm thinking of getting an IceTube Clock, but am concerned that it might be a source of RFI. I'm a radio ham, finally living in a quiet area RFwise, and want to keep it that way. Has anyone done any testing?

there's a boost converter in there and its running at a couple dozen khz as well as multiplexing a display. thats too much noise for a radio time module - but to be honest pretty much breathing nearby is too much as well.
