We have made some trial; connecting the phone directly to the line caming fron the telephone company, the radio there are not. The radio can be listened only on the extentions of the PABX with or without the thelephone line connected, using different type of thelephone. Seems that the radio is piked up by the PABX itself... The grounding of the PABX seems good.
