[RFI] Inquiry - AFCI RFI?

[David Eckhardt]

I have several AFCIs.  RF will trip them.  Just a pain.  If there were no
switch bounce on the AC switches, even for lights, they'd probably be just
OK.  But with no debouncing on cheap AC wall switches and no protection
against strong RF fields, they are a PITA.
