We're picking up a radio station on our wired telephone in the main

I assumed the phone was bad, so it was replaced with a new one,
different brand.
I also added a RS ground jack by the phone, but that didn't help
either.
The other 3 phones in the house don't have this problem.
Any ideas?
Cheers!

call the phone company and complain. they have some stuff they can put
on the line to alleviate this problem.


Yes, and the device is free, but Verizon charges for a service call to
put one on. 75 dollars or so for the first half hour. Plus you have
to be home when he comes. The verizon guy told me to buy a DSL filter,
I think it was, at radio shack. But I changed phones and it went
away. The "new" phone is 15 years old.

It's possible tht your new phone is actually the same maker as your
old phone, or the same weakness. Or maybe a DSL filter will solve
your problem. 15 dollars iirc.
