Just turn them off or you might try turning them all the way on. The
power is pulsed to the lights when the dimmer is between off and full on.

Go to a park away from all the "noise". Dimmers, fluorescent lights,
AC lines. and so many things we don't know could affect
reception.........Good Luck........Dave, again-----------PS. be
thankful your in LA it's snow here in St. Louis.

i went out to the edge of our yard and reception was fine-- the
bzzzzzzhmmmmmmmmm decreased as distance from the house increased.

can this be fixed with an external antenna mounted sufficiently away
from the house, but with an ultra-shielded lead-in cable to the house?

Yes . . .

take your radio outside, truck it around in the yard, find the best
reception area,

put up an antenna there.

then put in a nice shielded co-ax into your house, shielding the whole
thing.

Duct tape is actually a fairly good shield, BTW . ..
