James,
My understanding is that the station ground system and house service grounds
should be connected, preferably very close to the service ground rod.
I am down in Peace Dale (Wakefield), RI, if you want to come see my ground
system.

Absolutely. The engineers who write electrical codes are very smart,
and engineers from many disciplines are part of the process. GFCIs are
required

Hi all,
I realize that this is tangentially related to Elecraft gear since I'm
using a K3 and experiencing this issue, but I thought someone else may
have some knowledge to share with me to help me solve my problem.
Recently I stopped using a 25' long extension cord to power my

Hi John,
Yes they can be sensitive but that's the beauty of Home Depot. Return it to
the store and try another brand. Or better yet, take it out, replace it with
a regular receptacle and save it for when you sell the house.

Code requirements are there for a reason and are only put in place

a last resort. Also RF is not necessarily the problem. I had one
unit that would trip every time I turned a large 21 CRT monitor on.
Changed brands and all
You could also try moving the GFCI to the panel box by installing a GFCI
breaker in the panel box and replacing the GFCI outlet with a normal one.
This might solve the problem by increasing the distance between the RFI
source and the breaker. Also the shielding provided by the panel box may
help.

They're not cheap, but maybe they don't have adequate RFI protection
(obviously).
I suppose the first solution is to remove the GFI from the situation,
but I thought using it was the
We have this same problem every year using my RV for field day. The GFI's
in the RV control nearly every outlet. 100 watts to a nearby antenna, and
the GFI's trip nearly every outlet. For this last June, I wired a special
circuit to the main panel to give the operating position it's own
