If the smoke detector is wired to the AC line, wrapping as many turns of the ac wiring as
possible around a ferrite toroid or rod should cure it. The little Radio Shack split
toroids sold for this purpose work. Or you could replace it with a battery-powered model.
If you already have a battery type, try this: cover the entire unit with aluminum,
punching holes everywhere that there are openings in the plastic of the unit. I had to do
this with a battery powered CO detector.

I was wondering if i can cure an annoying problem when I am sending cw on
the hf bands above 15 meters.
I have a small mini beam on the roof and my shack is directly under it.
When I work the bands above 15 meters my smoke alarm beeps. Its in the hall
between the bedrooms, so don't want to move it.
Is there a way I can filter this problem without moving the smoke
detector?
Dumb question, but hate to move the detector.. but will , if I have to....
