As others have said, the iMac is at fault - take it back and ask for a replacement unit. At least if that does the same thing, you know it's a design fault and you may then have to figure out where the RF is coming from or more likley, how it's getting into the Mac.
As with Ron, when I had my old G4 it was (is) fine, but then for a few years, then I bought 2 mighty mouse (mice?), both acted in the same way as Ron's and acted as if the two side buttons where pressed, causing Expose to fly the windows of the side of the screen. Disabling that action on the side buttons resolved it. This was with just a little Power and on SSB or CW. I wasn't happy with the workaround, I complained to Apple about it. They had no idea what I was talking about, but did agree to exchange them for a Logitech Wireless KB/Mouse combo (which I'm very happy with, but they don't manufacture now). I now have a iMac 2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 24" screen for a couple of years, with the Logitech combo and no problems. There is no excuse for a device failing due to low RFI (3W is low), might be excusable for 2kW, but at 3W, there is something wrong with the iMac or something getting the RF into it. Have you removed the Ethernet connection too (assuming your using wired e/net)? 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174, P3 #108 -- When work is a pleasure, life is a joy!
