So I bought an apollo 600 watt kit, and THEN read about IF interference. I literally just did the am test and sure enough as soon as my timer came on it sounded like that low pitch wind noise that goes up really high and then comes back down. If you don't understand that go "shh" at a low pitch then high and back down low. Not sure if it was from the ballast but I've never heard a radio do that before so I'm sure it was. Anywho, I was ready to send it back to apollo and get a magnetic ballast, but that consists of money and time. Two things that I try to spend wisely. Now there's a few solutions I've read about, one being the faraday cage and another being, chokes. I assume I'll be trying the chokes first, where do I put them? If I do build a cage could you guys point me to a good guide for doing so? But the main question and possible solution for many of people is if an RF shielded power strip would block the emissions. Actually this one http://www.walmart.com/ip/Tripp-Lite-Isobar-4-Outlet-120V-Surge-Suppressor/3910300 not sure if it would work but I'm hoping you guys with all your brains could tell me if you think it would or not. Thanks guys! Should be starting my grow in the next month. Not in any rush
