I really think the bottom line here though is that there's no one 
answer to the rfi problem, so you'll probably have to try several of 
the approaches suggested here.  Being lazy myself, I'd suggest 
starting with the easiest one for you to try and going from there.

Rfi really can be a pesky problem.
