Does anyone know how to measure the amount of RF energy
that a computer (or anything) produces? My HP-28S handheld
computer/calculator sometimes acts very strange when my Amiga
computer is on, but when I turn off my Amiga, the 28S is 
happy again. Since there's no physical/electrical connection, my
guess is it HAS to be RF.


How can I measure/detect the RF being broadcast
by my computer? I've thought of getting a wide-band shortwave radio,
but this is very crude and I'd have to find one. Suggestions, anyone?
