I have two of the Panasonic gigrange cordless phones and both had RFI
problems until I put Radio Shack phone line filters in each one right at the
base. Only run a hundred watts here output but somehow that was a problem.
My phones are single line models more than three years old (got them when
the gigarange models first came out) so maybe they fixed the issue in the
later models. Not sure.
Would suggest whatever you buy, be sure you can return.

Ed,
Panasonic Gigarange (two-Line) and they have a single line 2.4 GHz
wireless with all the features one might want -
Tested with full legal limit 1.8 MHz - 12. GHz NO interference 0000
I tried many filters internally and with the Telco b 4 I came across
these phones.
Now my wife is happy when I'm running DX or a contest and she is on the
phone.
$150.00 - $250 depending on model
