Interesting... I've never had a problem with RF bothering a GFCI. My KW AM
broadcast transmitter (in the garage) is on a 30A two-pole GFCI about 20'
away from the panel with other GFCIs. The old RCA gets into my phones, the
TV, the stereo - but never bothered it's GFCI nor any of the others. All the
circuits in the shack and workshop (and kitchen and baths and outdoors) are
GFCIs - never been bothered by RF.
Somebody mentioned they are expensive... guess you have to define expensive.
Sure they are $40 when a vanilla breaker is $4. $36 seems like cheap
one-shot insurance to me.

? ... and they usually help to reduce TVI too because when the amplifier
makes mo' RF, the 240v switches off.
