I went through this issue with a ham repeater at a mountain top tower. The repeater would key up and never let go as it saw some signal it thought was a user. I was in a metal cargo container and the repeater was in a frame building 20 feet away. I could turn off the ethernet switch and the inte

This happens right in my house. Since installing lots of extra ethernet wiring, my ability to scan in the 2m and 150mhz areas has definitely been hindered by all the off noisy channels. It happened because I haven't bothered to use shielded cat5 at home. At tower sites, we use shielded only. We
