Hi Peter,

IT'S ALL JUNK and will only serve to give you grief...!!!

And WORST of all, it works TWO WAYS, i.e. whenever you transmit the lights will go through their cycle with each & every "dit" & "dah", and they'll generate horrendous noise all through the RF spectrum, too.

The cure...? Forget the 3-way touch control lamps: use only MANUALLY-SWITCHED arrays...that, or have a single access plug that'll allow you to dis-connect these insidious devices just prior to entering the shack for an operating session...
