GFI Problems

[Larry Gauthier]

You may be able to solve this by replacing the GFi's with a GFI breaker down
in the house panel. GFI breakers are more expensive than these $9.995 GFI
outlets, but at least you have an alternative.

One other thing to remember is that a GFI outlet protects all down-stream
outlets. So, you may be able to re-locate the GFI outlet to an upstream
point in the service leg (for example, an outlet in the living room that is
in the circuit that feds the kitchen) _IF_ you can find a new GFI location
that is less prone to RFI.
