No ideas, but I have the same problem, which seemed correctable with
limited success by putting some .1 uF caps accross the line in randomly
selected spots.  My neighbor has the FM intercomm too.  I'd sure like to
hear of any more scientific, permanent solutions.  (Like, has anyone
figured out how to boost the power ofthe BSR transmitters?).
