Are you using the original mic cable? You might want to replace it with a good piece of Gotham GAC-5, or some of the BLUE stuff(?).. and if it's also the original power supply, replacing the power recepticle with a grounded IEC, and tying the ground properly to the chassis could help, although you may also need to look at the caps in the power supply...

AAH! I only half-know what the hell I'm talking about...

.. Just send it up to Tracy Korby for some medical attention. It really should be plenty resistant to RF under normal circumstances (ie if none of your other gear is picking up radio incessantly).

ps: "star-quad" mic cables have a twisted pair of seperately insulated conductors for each leg, and thus 4 conductors (plus shield) per cable. When freshly cut, the cross-section has a star-ish pattern. For reasons I couldn't explain, the twisted pairs are more resistant to RFI than singles.
