Very common in both VHF and UHF with certain WiFi equipment. Antenna separation will be your friend. If the problem is bad enough there are relatively inexpensive filters.

I've started deploying WiFi nodes (500 mw radios) at my various sites (so far, only one is done) and I've noticed some interference to one of my UHF repeaters at that site. The interference is only noticable on weaker signals (so obviously the interference itself isn't all that strong) that manifests itself as a low level pulsing or clicking sound "under" the UHF user. The WiiFi radio/router is mounted at the top of the tower and fed power via the CAT5 cable (POE). The antenna for the WiFi unit is in faily close proximity to the UHF antenna too. I'm thinking moving the WiFi antenna a bit down the tower might solve the problem. Then again, I'm not yet sure if it's an RF thing or the CAT5 cable itself radiating (it ain't shielded) Anyone run into this before?
