The interference you hear from mobile phones is most likely caused by the TDM (time division multiplex) that causes transmission to happen in small time slots, rather than continously. Seems this aspect of noise generation was overlooked when the specs were drawn up. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
