[RFI] 160 M triggers my lawn sprinklers

[rick darwicki]

Hi all,
 
 
I have ferrite on the power, rain sensor and all the leads going into my controller and no problems on other bands, but 1500 W on 160 triggers my new Rain Bird sprinkler controller.
I had .01 bypass caps on the inputs to the old controller and that solved the problem. Hanging them on the controller looks messy.

Question, is it better or worse to bypass the ends of the lines at the valves? or should I bypass both? 

I was never able to cure the problem with just ferrites (HF and LF) 

Thanks
