My 160 TX is causing RFI to one of my baseboard heater programmable thermostats 
(switches modes, temperature, when I transmit). The thermostat has a 2 wire 
connection to 240VAC in a metal receptacle box that has a third wire common 
ground wire. I would like to try bypassing the AC line. Can someone suggest an 
appropriate (safe) capacitor for this purpose, e.g. a Digi-Key or Mouser part 
number? Should I use one capacitor across the 240VAC or two capacitors, one 
from each 120VAC line to the common wire? Thanks for the help.
