The voices in *my* head tell me that this is not an unusual problem - at
least in populated areas.

Double check the shielding on your cables. Is the solder connection good? A=
t
both ends? is the connector case grounded too?

If the cable looks good, try placing a ferrite choke on your cable. Radio
Shack sells two kinds, you want the one that looks like a tiny hot dog bun
(part 273-105). It clamps around the cable at the male end.

Hopefully this "quick fix" solves the problem.
