Thats the thing about part 15 devices ... They must accept any interference.

Joe, do you have membership in any local ham radio clubs like the 
Raleigh Amateur Radio Society (RARS)?

They usually have interference committees and would know where to get 
access to equipment.
You know of course that 2.5Ghz is right next to the amateur band.
Just a thought.
