Take a standard phone (Ma Bell type) and plug it in first to make sure that it's the cordless...and make sure that the cordless "base" is disconnected/unplugged from the jack when you test it. If the static's still there, it aint the cordless. Could be your inside phone wiring too. Often anymore, the netpop on the house where your line(s) come in have a modular jack that you can plug a good phone into, disconnecting the inside phone wiring. If you have such a jack, and the staic's still there, and the phone you're testing with is good, the problem's ours (Telco). If the static's gone, and the cordless is disconnected, it's inside wiring, possibly a jack with shorted or corroded pins. At least 90% of residential repairs turn out to be the cordless phone base unit though, and its easy money sending a guy out to prove it, then bill the customer for their bad equipment. I don't know that it will work, but could go to Radio Shack and pick yourself up a couple of RF choke coils that might dissipate harmonics if are RF based. Basically, they are nothing more than two magnets that face each other, and you wind the cord that goes to the jack around them, and they form a choke. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it don't. They are cheap though, and worth a try. Mark
