Probably not. Touch-buttons that sense body capacity
can be really twitchy in the presence of strong RF.
Can you send me a wiring diagram for your lighting
control system? I must admit that I'm not optimistic
but we can try. Need to see the installation manual
and wiring.

Daniel,
No worries re the ferrites. It was easy and worth a shot. Thanks for trying. With
the com off there's no problem with the EB. There's a 15' parallel run of speaker
and EB wiring and that's where the problem is. When I run non-parallel
wiring to power the EB, the problem disappears. Soo...see below.
Bob,
Thank you for your willingness to give it a go, but I've decided that the simplest
fix is to re-route the wires to the EB. I didn't want to do that because it
means pulling out some nice upholstery work to get 2 x 22 ga wires underneath
it. But I know from experimentation that it will work.
That's going to be the best use of both yours and my time.;-)
Cheers,
John
