Any lineman can help you determine whether a smart meter is causing a
continuous problem. Just have him pull the meter while you check for RFI. I
doubt whether this RFI is coming through your power lines.

My meter --or rather the modified 60 Hz line voltage used to read it--
causes some RFI. But it "only" lasts about 5 seconds each time.
