You asked;

"How would that get rid of the signal"

I don't know, but it did. Of course, it may have gone away in that time frame without my unplugging all the phones.

I had a cordless phone system that was 900MHz (if I remember correctly). I know have a 1.2 gig cordless system.

There are many possibilities. Try lifting the protectors out first and see what happens.

This sort of thing has become much more of a problem with modern electronic telephones. You'll often find that if you plug in an old 500 or 2500-set that you won't have any trouble.

You have to stop the RF signal getting into the phone in the first place. Once it's in and been rectified into audio, nothing will stop it. As the offending signal is coming from one particular station, the best approach might be to install a notch filter.

I had a cordless phone system that was 900MHz (if I remember correctly).

Only thing I can think of is that cordless phones automatically switch channels in an attempt to find a clear one. They may have decided on one that is a harmonic of the radio transmitter frequency. When unplugged they may have defaulted to some other channel then after awhile gone back to that problem channel for some reason.

Kind of far fetched but possible.
