It's likely one of the Chinese long-range cordless phones that pop up on 
e-Bay all the time, even though they are illegal to import or sell in the US 
(and probably Canada, as well).  They operate in the ham bands and plague 
AO-51 users in Europe and Asia, making the bird virtually unusable at 
times.....
