Kelly,
That RFI is doing you a favor. It is very easy for anyone with a receiver
capable of receiving 49-50 Mhz to pick up baby monitors and portable phones
that
operate in that frequency range. With a good antenna, or just sitting outside
in a car, it is easy to pick up conversations within a 1/2 mile, or further
range. Sensitive baby monitors can pick up conversations throughout the house.
Think about that...
I don't know what other frequency baby monitors operate on, but unless you
are out in the country and have no nearby neighbors, I would get rid of the 49
Mhz monitor anyway.
