[amsat-bb] 2 meter interference from WiFi hub

Hi all,

I finally figured out why I could not receive AO-91.  It turns out that my
old Apple Time Capsule (a wifi hub with a disk built in) was pumping out a
nice strong carrier on 145.965 totally overwhelming the satellite.  I have
another newer Time Capsule that was fine.

So the question is:  I want to replace this with another WiFi hub.  Does
anyone have good or bad recommendations for a hub that does not generate a
lot of RF? (When you google Wi-Fi and RF interference, you mainly get other
things that interfere with Wi-Fi :-))

Thanks and 73,

Burns WB1FJ
