Hi Les,
Sorry so late responding. Busy busy!

I don't know if you mentioned in this thread which mfg wireless you are usi=
ng. If Napco, without me checking into the following for accuracy, - - - - =
- I seem to remember that there is an interference sensing feature in the N=
apco receiver. There's an LED, (green, I think) that will flash or stay on,=
 depending upon the type of interference. I think you have to take the cove=
r off of the receiver to see if it's on or not.=20
Also, I seem to remember that there is some sort of simple wide band receiv=
er that you can make out of a few transistors and a neon bulb. to see if tu=

 any help since you don't know if the source is it the customers house or n=
ot. Running around the neighborhood with a little flashing light transistor=
 circuit on a long stick may get you a trip to the funny factory.
Just a thought, - - - - can you think of something that might be under cons=
truction or an airport or large manufacturer around the area? Check houses =
in surrounding few blocks for large antennas (Ham radio operators) Some of =
these guys try to do some strange things like boosting power to talk to som=
