[Elecraft] Ceiling fan interference

[Jack Brindle]

Remember that the receiver is on all the time, as is the low-voltage supply that is powering the receiver. All can cause problems in addition to the fan PWM that the receiver is driving.

Good luck solving this one. There is not much room in the fan enclosure for ferrites to help resolve the issues and adding capacitors at the appropriate places can be a real challenge. I hope
returning the controller is still a solution for you even if it means taking the fan down…
