Yep.

Cured mine with a 10 Mh rf choke (J.W. Miller part #6306  About $3) on each
line of the doorbell button wire right where the line attaches to the door
opener.

You may want to remove the doorbell wire (used to open without the remote)
from the unit and see if your problem is RF on the wire.

1500 watts out does not phase it now.

Good Luck.
