[MLB-WIRELESS] Mitsu R100 (Asus 500g) causing interference

[Paul van den Bergen]

actually, just taking out (or turning off via software - is this
possible? the radio should be telling too.

but yeah, I suspect either the power transformer or a RF short
somewhere in the electronics...

OTOH, the RF interference immediately off band may be far more
stringently controlled than waaaay off band AM frequencies... if those
bands have different regulatory regimes - or even if they do and are
not checked...
