Solution for Cordless phone QRM
If you want to avoid interference to the 902MHz, 2.4GHz, and 5.8GHz ham bands when using a cordless phone, then look for a DECT 6.0 model. This was authorized earlier this year by the FCC in the Unlicensed PCS band from 1920-1930 MHz.

Even Wal*Wart has them. I saw two different models at the local store.
They were specifically made to address the complaints by consumers that the 2.4GHz and 5.8Ghz cordless phones trash their home wireless networks.

At one time, they made some 900 MHz phones. I have a couple, and they work very well with good range and clarity, and of course no interference. Google turns up many references, but mostly at eBay and similar discounters. Anybody know if they are still made?
