- The American Radio Relay League's _Handbook_ has some
- good information on curing radio frequency
- interference with a variety of services, including
- phones. Last I remember it gave specific model
- numbers for standard telco RFI filters.
-
- The radio station and telco are probably both
- operating properly -- lots of newer phones are
- extremely sensitive to RFI that older phones built to
- Ma Bell specs wouldn't have picked up.
-
- There was a discussion of this recently in
- comp.dcom.telecom.
