Is it AC or battery powered?
If the former, try ferrites around the power lines
If the latter, enclose it in a shielding enclosure (obviously, with
holes in it so you have air flow, etc.) Spraying the housing with
conductive paint may be all that's needed. The conductive enclosure
needs to be all encompassing and with no conductors penetrating the
shield wall (but holes are ok).
For a temporary test, try wrapping it in aluminum foil.
At 20 m, you can have a HUGE hole in the enclosure and still be
fairly well shielded.
