Bryan- You will probably get all kinds of good advice on how to
technically restore you touch lamp's functionality in the presence of high
RF. ...Something about placing a ferrite choke on the yellow lead coming
off the lamp's board... but don't quote me on that. Better look it up for
yourself. I like George, K0IW's answer... get rid of them! But here is a
simple, foolproof solution, which requires little expense, no engineering,
will allow the touch function, and the lamps will NEVER come on while you
are XMITing... Put a "hard" switch in the power line. That's right, a
good old fashioned mechanical switch. Since these lamps are built into a
credenza, you may be able to mount some type of switch into the side panel.
I don't understand why touch lamps are so popular... It's not as if it was
some type of remote control, like the "Clapper", which I suspect would be
less vulnerable to RFI! There is nothing like a hard switch that
physically disconnects. Why do designers so often overlook the obvious?

Well, we got new furniture last week and the new
credenza that went in the bedroom has a pair of touch
operated lamps built into it. Really handy, all you
have to do is just touch the control and they go
low-med-high and then off.
Problem is that each I time I hit key the mike
or key on the TS-940 the lights go low-med-high off, low-med-
high-off, and sequence repeats itself with each voice
peak or every sequence on the keyer. Not to neat when you are
calling the H40 at 2:30 in the morning and the lights are
flashing like crazy in the bedroom.
OK guru's....how about a fix for flashing lights??
