I have light dimmer switches in my home with no rfi at all. they are the
Lutron type with the three way switch and dimmer. i am wondering what
frequency do you hear this rfi, is it very broad in nature. if it is the dimmer
then i would check the brand.

Hello Richard,
All good suggestions and thankyou, but I rather have mfg recall defective
product and that would come about with the FCC getting better at monitoring
potential emitters like they monitor new ham rigs before allowing mfg to sell
them. The local home improvement stores are loaded with them. Not all are
bad, but the bad ones need to be dealt with. A do-it-yourselfer will most
always go with the least expensive solution and that will be the cheap junk.
As a legal license holder the burden of proof or enforcement should not be my
responsibility. My other neighbor is at this very moment getting some
remodeling done to his house. I dread the thought of more dimmer lights on the
other side of me.
This comes close to neighborhood speeders for example, who happen to live
across the street, the police rarely patrol so the burden is on the homeowner
to snitch on the neighbor which in turn causes friction, that would apply to
your method too. I don't want to live in a war zone. Let the mfg buck-up and
clean up, but it takes a strong enforcement from the FCC which so far has not
appeared at as far as I can tell.
I have entertained the idea of getting the biggest KW and running it at full
legal power then see what happens next.
