Hi to the group I have a 40 year old Sears chain drive door opener with two Cree led bulbs. They have been there for over 2 years with no problem using the remote. Every bulb in my house except the oven and refrigerator has been replaced by Cree led bulbs. I have run my K3 and P3 on each antenna on battery power with main AC off than turned everything on in order and no change in noise level. I consider myself lucky. Ken W0CZ w0cz at i29 dot net
