RFI resistant phones

Try the $15 Radioshack Model ET-296 series, catalog # 43-874 (white). It comes in several colors with slightly different catalog numbers. I haven't tried it personally, but it sure looks just like the old 43-591.

Another phone that has proved to be 100% bulletproof here is the Uniden Model EXP 970. It is an 800 MHz cordless, available at Walmart for under $10, at least the last time I bought one, about a year ago. My xyl routinely chats on this phone for hours while I am in high power contests, with no complaints. One drawback to this phone for your application is that you will have to keep the battery charged, because it takes several hours for the initial charge. This phone also sounds great and has a 10 number dialing memory.
