Just a heads up.
I purchased a Kidde NightHawk CO2 detector model KN-COP-DP-LS, it is designed
to plug into a wall outlet plus it has a 9 v. battery backup and LED readout.
While transmitting on 80 meters after a while it starts audible warning, very
loud. I called the company tech support line and they did not have any
solution. As an experiment I plugged the detector into a two wire extension
cord and wrapped the extension around a #31 mix snap-on, then tested and it did
not go off. The tech support said not to use an extension cable with the
detector.
CO2 or CO? Not many homes worry about CO2. Only detectors I'm familiar
with are for vessel entry.

So if you are looking for a CO2 detector be aware of this problem with 80 meter
RFI tripping the detector. I went to strictly battery powered CO2 detector and
that works fine.
