You are running a system that's WAYYYYY too hot. No radio stops at the edges of it's assigned channel.
Drop your antenna size down a lot and see what happens. I like to see my systems in the -65 to -75 range (note, the sb units misreport db readings by a LOT). I show you'd be just fine with 9 to 12 dB antennas on each end. He was there first, you need to work around him. Also, have you checked around? You sure that there are no other systems in the area that kick on about then?
