Remember, magnetic fields don't really induce voltages in isolated bits of paths. High impedance, low impedance, it doesn't matter. Magnetic fields induce voltages in *loops*. How big are those loops? How are they oriented with respect to each other? If you've got magnetic interference problems, ask those questions. Jeff Winslow
