    Shelby, the good news here is that this is not an insurmountable
problem. However, it sounds like something that needs to be dealt with
someone familiar with RF and RFI problems/solutions and is imaginative, and
here's the big one, does careful work.

    I'm certain that there are folks here on this list near you that are
able to do this. It would also be my guess that the cost of doing it once
for good would be cheaper than the missed revenue spent dealing with this
piecemeal yourself.
