problem-

Turn on low voltage undercabinet lights with electronic lv dimmer and GFCI receptacle on opposite side of kitchen trips, not always, 80% of the time.

Not on same circuit
Not MWBC


Thoughts?

Replace the GFCI with a P&S and the problem will vanish.

Any particular reason why?

I'm aware of that. :)

I'm just mystified by this problem that Scott is having. I've had the same problem with phantom GFCI tripping and could not figure out why...and I'll be darned if I can remember what kind it was. I think it may have been a P&S actually.
