[IRCA] RFI on the BCB

[Stephen Hawkins <ng0g@xxxxxxxxx>]

Patrick et al,

I have found the worst RFI generator I have heard in quite a while.   We 
had a nice garage built and the contractor installed two brand new 
Chamberlain garage door openers.  The RFI comes from a cheap, dirty 
switching supply that uses the leads going to the sensors at the bottom 
of the doors and to the switch by the people door as antenna.  It ruins 
the BCB and 160M.   I tried to post a photo of the screen on my 
Flexradio showing the interference but it doesn't get through.  It is 
bad despite replacing all the wires with cat5 and winding an extra 9 
feet of twisted pair striped out of the cat 5 through a Mixture 31 
toroid.  I have to power them off at night.

I'll email photos to anyone who wants.
