That seemed the easiest first step to do, so I ordered a new Square D 20 amp GFCI breaker on eBay. It arrived in a few days, and since I felt lucky, I replaced the breaker in the power panel without first pulling the master breaker. I have only operated a few times since replacing the breaker, but so far the breaker hasn't popped off.

Hi,

I had similar problems until I got a new GFI breaker.  I understand
the new ones are much less susceptible to RF.

John,
You might want to try a different brand of GFI breaker.  In my  experience,
some are far more succeptible to RF interference than are  others.
73 and good luck with it.  Those problems are seldom fun to  resolve.
