robert, touch lamp adapters are notorious for both producing radio frequency interference and being susceptable to same.
there are various schemes to detect the "touch" but most involve sensative circuits that can be bothered by close radio frequency stuff. I'd doubt the cordless phone would set the lamp off because cordless phones, or the legal ones that is, are relatively low power. The two way radios, if they are the so-called "family radio service' are also pretty low power,. If the Cobras are "CB" citizens band, then they're supposed to put out 5 watts and it is just slightly more likely they might turn on the lamp. About all that might be worth trying on the lamp is to get one of the ferite chokes that Radio shack sells for reducing interference on telephone lines and wind cord from the lamp through it. However any interference from or too the lamp adapter is more likely carried through the air than through the power lines. If you get unexpected noise on the cordless or the radios, suspect the lamp and unplug it to see if the noise goes away. It's unlikely you'll fix the touch lamp since they use many different kinds of sensor circuits, but see if you can correlate the undesired turn onn with use of the phone or radios. tom Fowle Net-Tamer V 1.13 Beta - Registered To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday The Pod Cast address for the Cooking In The Dark Show is. http://www.gcast.com/u/cookingindark/main.xml Visit The New Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following Address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
