I used to have problems with my modem until I realized it was too close
to the magnetic fields generated by the CRT scanning coils. (60hz and
15750hz, not RF, but airborne never the less.)

I don't know what the HP-28S has that may be sensitive to the magnetic
fields, but does it have any magnetic media reading mechanisms?
