A new neighbor is doing a complete remodel of a house. They are very close to my antennas and I know from experience that dimmer switches in that house have made terrible noise. The are about to inst

Unless otherwise directed, I suggest using the better Lutron dimmers. The product literature will specify whether or not they are, well, better at not causing RFI. I have three of them. They're not p

Bob, I have a pocket SW receiver (Eton Mini 300PE) that's pretty sensitive. At the low end of the AM BCB I have to walk 15 feet away from the dimmer to eliminate the noise. Up at 1700 KHz the distanc

Hi Bob and Everyone else, Garry, NI6T (Big 160 guy) made a paper study of dimmer switches and put it out on the Topband Reflector if I remember. And there is quite a difference! I have it around some

OK Guys, I have a good friend who works for Lutron, and a while back I emailed him, asking these very questions. He gave me permission to put his answer up on the list. I've redacted his name, and "f

My own tests indicate that the Lutron dimmers produce far less RFI than those made by Leviton. I recently installed a Leviton dimmer that was boldly branded as having an RFI filter. But on 160m-80m,

FWIW, the so-called technical advice on the Lutron website is mostly a bunch of technomumbojumbo doubletalk, and your buddy redacted isn't much better. Since the dimmer mfrs refuse to make RF-quiet d

One variable is the size and quality of the contact surface with the slider, poor quality and/or small surface area increases the probability of noise. Also, a poorly sealed unit or one that uses moi
