Netstumbler wont, to my knowledge, find a WLAN where the SSID is not
broadcast.

Thats something else to consider.

DECT phones and some modern video senders are on the same 2.4Ghz spectrum,
yes.  Thats the reason I went out of my way to find a cordless that
_doesnt_ use that spectrum.  Cant speak for your neighbours, though.

In short its unlikely to be neighbouring wifi, but it is possible that you
have competing uses for the band - or a local, STRONG RF signal thats
flattening your receiver.

Or a poor antenna cable, or faulty antenna, ...
