My 5.8 Ghz cordless phone is faintly picking up a radio station on the background. How do I get rid of it?

I'm using a VOIP router with this regular phone but I don't think it's because of that. It doesn't make any sense that 5.8 Ghz band should be picking up FM radio signals.

Answer 1

it is called Overload.

To get rid of it you need to filter the line. The easiest is to use a split core ferrite filter. You can buy them at Radiio sHack, parts express and other places.

open the core, wrap the phone line thru a couple times and this will remove the RF that is ridding on the phone line.
