[TowerTalk] [TVI-RFI-EMI] Re: Query RFI

[ARS NZ3O]

Didn't see the initial note, but have dimmers in several dozen
fixture controls here and RFI on HF is zero.  Key is using quality
products and having three-wire switches, not two wire.

I have 60 Lutron RadoRa wireless dimmer circuits and
have had zero problems in either direction since moving
from two-wire units to three-wire units.
