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.



A DSL filter might work...
