If you are having a problem with breakers tripping due to a radio transmitter in your proximity, Eaton is currently having electricians replace their current revision AFCI breaker with the prior revision breaker. I have been told that they are currently developing a breaker that will solve both the radio transmitter and motor problems.

I know of a total of 13 breakers, installed in the panels of 3 separate homes (all located within 100 feet of the radio) that were replaced by the prior version of the Eaton AFCI breaker, and the problem was eliminated in every case. I don't know, and seriously doubt that this corrected the problems caused by vacuum cleaners, paper shredders, exhaust fans, some older PC power supplies, flourescent lights, etc.

I believe that the current version of the Eaton AFCI began being installed in Villages homes in approximately Jan 2012. I'm sure that this may have varied by several months depending upon the electrical company. Both the old and new version of the AFCI breakers meet the electrical code. The newest version can be identified by a white "Test" button on the breaker in the panel. The prior version breaker had a yellowish "Test" button.
