Hi Kyle;
I don't have a RS catalog here at work so I don't have the model number, but I
bought one of these back when the post came across and they were on sale. I
think it's $25 regular price. It doesn't have any special or additional
filtering over any other ordinary phones on the market. As a matter of fact,
it received interference equally well compared to my Southwestern Bell phone
of the same style. I had to add one of the RS phone filters (K-comm mfr?) for
$20 to clean it up to acceptable levels. So all together it cost me about $40
bucks. For a little more money I could've bought one of those "real"
bullet-proof phones that does have built in filtering and less electronics.
There are two mfrs who make RFI proof phones; one is TCE Labs in San Antonio,
TX (512-656-3635), & I think the other one is PRO Distributers(?). I've not
tried either of these, but they basically make an old fashioned Western
Electric desk model with added filtering for about $60-$70 range. I think
they're guaranteed to be RFI proof or money back. I should try one of these
sometime, but don't need a phone right now.
