Digital Ballast RF interference

I recently hooked up 2 1000W Phantom digital ballast and now my radio and Tri meter are acting up big time.

Does anyone know a way to fix this?
At first I thought it was because the ballast were in the same room so I moved them to the next room and even the wall wont filter out the RF.

Any help would be appreciated.

The only 2 cheap options are 1) stop listening to the radio
2) return ballasts and get magnetic.

other than that you'd have to shield your grow room to prevent RF interference, or you can just learn to live with it.

A grounded steel wire cage surrounding the source of the interference is commonly how RFI is handled.

I have stopped listening to the radio rofl, but the tri meter is where the real problem lies.
Is their any other methods of blocking the RFI from my ballast?

Try Lumatek ballasts instead, they have had RF interference worked out of their models since as recently as 2009
