Just to clarify, on the newer homes in The Villages, Refrigerators and freezers are not on GFCI or AFCI breakers.

Some refrigerators emit a radio frequency that can sometimes trip an AFCI breaker, even when it is NOT on that breaker.

As to HAM radio operators, as I said before, the fault here is with the AFCI breakers, as most HAM radio operators keep their outputs well below allowed legal limits.

Hope this helps...
