You wouldn't be interrupted by visitors receiving calls on mobile
telephones.

My next-door neighbour had a 49 MHz wireless baby alarm transmitting 24/7: I
could see the carrier on my 'scope.  I had to use the BW LIMIT button.  I
don't know what it did for my probe compensation, but, in the end, I made a
crude notch filter.

Seriously, surely the sensitive parts of your equipment are already
adequately shielded?
