Hi George,

Many years ago, I saw what I considered solid input that these devices are not sensitive to RF at frequencies we use. The laws of physics support that -- RFI is coupled either by by antenna action or a magnetic field. Devices like this are far too small for there to me much of either, and proper design requires that their construction reject both means of coupling by their construction.
