Re: [Elecraft] OT: Kidde smoke detectors; Any follow up on RFI frm wireless models?
Hello, I thought I'd close the loop on this topic. I went ahead and installed three Kidde 10 year wirelessly interconnected smoke/ CO detectors and so far so good. I've been running 350 watts on 160 and 80 and that did not trigger them. Perhaps it's time to replace the KPA500 with a KPA1500 and do some further testing ;-) 73 de Paul VA3LX -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] OT: Kidde smoke detectors; Any follow up on RFI frm wireless models?
Hello, I read the thread from several weeks ago discussing the Kidde wireless interconnected smoke detectors and the concern that they would be triggered by RF from ham radio. Has anyone who is running any power tried them? A local ham running 100 watts hasn't had problems. I have a Kidde wired interconnection smoke detector system that I trigger with > 250 watts. Numerous attempts with ferrite chokes and bypass capacitors haven't resolved it.
