I have a RF interference problem. It seems like it is coming from the lit bulbs, and not the ballasts, but I am not sure. It's not completely out of hand, but I am a ham and it wipes out my ability to use the radio for 12 hours a day.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Would using magnetic ballasts be any better? I know that the ballast unit would make less, but with all the shielding on the digital ones, I don't think that is the issue. I am almost sure it is rf out of the bulbs.

Does anyone have any ideas besides turning my flowering room into a Faraday cage? I was supprised to find out how expensive aluminum screen is, and I have no idea how to do the door with mesh in my little personal size grow (it rolls up right now, no room to open in out.

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Its your ballasts. People have problems with RF interference from digital ballasts all the time. Go magnetic or get internet radio ;P
