Remember that part of the problem here is the distance from the offending to the receiver vs. your transmitter to the receiver....all these transmitters operate at about 500 milliwatts....depending on the condition of your batteries....so, if in the process of flying you happen to fly the receiver a bit closer to the offending transmitter than yours....you will probably get some hits...
