Amplified telephone picking up radio
 

I have an amplified telephone that is intermittently picking up a
radio station. Is this a common problem with amplified telephones? Any
suggestions to fix it?

Any chance the problem goes away after dark? The reason I ask is that many
AM broadcast stations must cut their transmit power after dark (FCC regs.).

A low-pass filter on the phone line might fix it. Once, the TELCOs would
provide the filter but that's probably no longer true. A 0.05 uF capacitor
across the phone line might work.

Not common, do you live near an AM radio station?

I think that the nearest one is about 10 miles.

You sure it's a radio station and not a CB'er with a 5000 watt amp?

A DSL filter might work...
