As some additional notes........ I'm an old tube guy and grew up getting rid of 
TVI/RFI mostly with bypass capacitors.

My sprinkler controller would set off certtain zones depending on band and 
power level. 

I installed various ferrite beads on each wire coming in and on the power 
wires. At first I thought it was fixed, but I still had problems on certain 
bands, probably due to wire length.

In my junk box a found a bunch of .47ufd 400v mylar capacitors, I bypassed each 
input to a common ground.

Problem solved.

Rick, N6PE
