Just had some halogen track lights installed at the Burnt River DX site.
They're billed as LED compatible, for what that's worth, and it's also labeled
as a 2-wire track system. System is on a dimmer that never previously caused
problems when it was either off or set to full brightness. But
It's not the lights but rather the low voltage switching power supply
converting 120VAc to 12V DC. I had the same thing next door but they let me
swap them out for 120V halogens rather than the 12V ones. There really is
not much you can do with these supplies to make them quiet as the signals
Halogen lamps are very noisy. I stayed with a relative several years ago,
and from the opposite end of a huge house, I knew immediately when she
turned on her reading light. My radio reception was destroyed immediately.
Halogen or AM DX.pick one.

I have no noise from the 120VAC ones...just the low voltage switching power
supplied ones.

I just installed my first LED bulb, a Philips 100 W equivalent. So far, no
noise. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who's tried other brands,
particularly Cree.
I also have several 100 W equivalent halogens. Fortunately they're not
producing any noise, either, but that could be because
