[Elecraft] annoying problem

[Vic K2VCO]

If the smoke detector is wired to the AC line, wrapping as many turns of the ac wiring as 
possible around a ferrite toroid or rod should cure it. The little Radio Shack split 
toroids sold for this purpose work. Or you could replace it with a battery-powered model.
If you already have a battery type, try this: cover the entire unit with aluminum, 
punching holes everywhere that there are openings in the plastic of the unit. I had to do 
this with a battery powered CO detector.
