SOLVED! GFCI tripping problem

>"I looked online and could not find anything that says I cannot
power other receptacles from the GFCI or that I have to use pigtails
from the GFCI to the wires that go to the other receptacles."

I stand corrected, that is a local thing. On regular outlets it is bad practice, but on a GFCI outlet, that neutral coming off the protected terminal is not going to be shared anyway, it would trip as soon as the other thing turns on.

I would only do it on a new circuit, you KNOW how that is connected.

As are load-side live wires (in Europe and Asia, I last heard).
 
EATON GFCI’s were known to have issues with Radio Frequency (RF).

EATON did have a “swap out” (revised design) for these situations.
