Hello John et all - I'll hook it into the circuit in place of the Micro M+ -
I've never noticed any rf noise from the Micro M+ - I guess the thing to do
is turn on my Kenwood TS-430S or TS-130S and tune around listening for noise
- to identify what I think might be rf noise from the controller, I guess
all I have to do is lift a lead off the battery I'm charging - should be
interesting and I'll try to get at it in the next few days and then report -

Hi Bruce
    I'm glad you bought one of those Charge Controllers, because now you 
can do an experiment for us ...

One of the "selling points" that Mike Bryce makes in selling his Micro 
M+ controllers is that they generate no rf noise, as some other charge
controllers apparently do (thus limiting their utility in QRP applications!)

So what say, Bruce - can you do some noise comparisons on the two?  
Inquiring minds want to know!
