[Flexradio] OT: GFCI outlets and RFI

[Charles Greene]

Jim,

I had that problem last year when using my linear amp on 80 
meters.  The upstairs bath GFI was about 14 ft from my 135' OCF 
antenna.  So I bought a new GFI outlet and that solved the 
problem.  Seems the new GFI outlets are less susceptible to RFI than 
the older ones.
