> Hi,

> 1) Disconnected telephone CO and set lines from the central control box.
> no change in the RFI levels.

> 2) Grounded cabinet of control box, and put a pair of the snap-together
> type regtangular ferrites on the CO & set lines, and the AC power line. No
> change.
>
> 3) made sure the cover was screwed on tight, and that there were good
> clean connection points between the front and back covers.

> Any ideas are appreciated...

Jeff:
I suggest that you call 1-800-4NORTEL with your model # and serial # and
ask the tech guys for help. They have been very good at responding to
requests for repair and ideas for old gear.
When it comes to RFI, they probably have already done it!
