  1. stop trying to answer your radio


  2. Is that a wire landline or a cordless? In any case, you have some rectification from a local radio station, it can even be caused by a loose wire, having an effect similar to a crystal set. Try another phone and see if that does it.? An R.F. filter may help in the line. If all else fails, call the phone company repair service to fix it. It can be a tough problem, if you are real close to a radio tower. It is most likely an AM radio station, which could be running from 1000 to 50,000 watts.

  3. locate your phone box on outside of house where your local phone company connects to your house. open it and find your IW (inside wire) in the box. you will have a primary color pair white/white blue or a green/red connected to a module.. leave those alone... now you will also have other colors in that same iw strip back the insulation off the copper and twist them all together to short them out. now you should have a ground lug in the box where a gray or brown ground wire connects. loosen the lug and wrap your shorted iw's and tighten lug. the open wires are acting like an antenna and bleeding over the radio noise to your working pair. don't worry every thing in the box is low voltage and will not hurt you. if this don't work call your local phone company and 9 out of 10 tech's wont bill you for fixing this.. it's an easy trouble tkt.

  4. go to RadioShack and get a RF filter....

  5. it all depends on the frequency of your phone. it must be matching, or close to matching the frequency of the radio station. my wireless phone is 900 MHz, just for an example. ask your friends if you can try their phones in your house or something like that to get an idea of which frequency doesn't interfere with the radio stations'.
