 I am not sure my experience is relevant but : I had
to stop using my electrical heater because it
interfered with my computer and caused all kinds of
odd errors. My heater was plugged into the same power
strip as my computer and was fairly near it. Whether
the interference was through the power or through
radio interference, I don't know.
 Good Luck
