In addition to getting flaky, I believe there is a significant variation in
sensitivity even when they are new. Doug's story seems to support that
theory. Likely his radio power supply had a suppression cap tied from hot
to neutral or something, that passed just enough current to trip an
overly-sensitive GFCI.
