I'd ask them for one or more locations where you might see them
in action ... and bring a radio or two ...

Pretty close.  The indoor units are actually DC but you have the right
idea.  Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

Both inverting (PWM controlled compressors) and non-inverting models
are available.  My impression is that the change to PWM controlled
compressors is not unique to ductless systems.  It's happening across
all types of air conditioning to reduce compressor cycling in an
effort to increase overall efficiency.

It would be a shame to make such a significant purchase only to
introduce more RF noise.
