I have a problem with hum on some of my telephones. This is probably
caused by too long horizontal runs of unshielded "satin" cable (line
cord). (I use that' instead of twisted pair since it is easier to
install). 60hz is supposed to be outside the audible portion of the
phone "spectrum", so can I get a filter (ready-made or I'll build it)
to take care of this problem, or should I bite the bullet and rewire?
