This is a very common issue w/ Saturn vehicles. I worked for a Saturn dealer until 1998, and found the problem myself in every SL and SC I drove. It also occurs in my 91 SL1, and the official cause is said to be the ECU (main computer).
Sweeps I've done with a handitalkie certainly seem to confirm that (although my shop manual refers to the culprit box as a "Powertrain Control Module"). Other than the relatively narrow band of frequencies it squats on there's no other problem.
In fact I worked through UO-14 one day while driving to work with a through-the-glass dual-band antenna and my FT-90. (I switched to a Comet SBB-5 when the through-the-glass RatShack special fell off a few months back.)
