I bought a new Kiddie Smoke/CO detector and a plain Smoke detector. Put 0.02 ufds across the battery connections on the boards. Same locations as old detectors. No false triggering with maximum out of Alpha 78 160 - 10 meters.

On 40 meters, one of the lawn sprinkler zone valves tries to follow cw keying. Using a Toro 8 zone controller. Others bands were triggering different zones but ferrite beads cured the problem. I think I need to treat the entire unit. 

The good news is nothing is getting into the computer speakers.
