There's so much stuff operating in that range these days, it's not even worth listing.
Cell phones aren't that high (yet). But WiMax internet and plenty of other things are. I worked for a company that used 5gig wireless bridges to connect buildings (was a lame setup-btw), but those radios would belt a signal for 30+ miles over flat land (sup Flyover). Was pretty fucked for the other tenants in the business park trying to use cordless phones.
I'd say as a starting point (although much experimentation may be necessary), get into whatever interface you use to configure the device (never set one up, myself), try selecting a channel manually, rather than autoselect.
That, and try different placements/orientations of the radios.
Not sure if your interface has some sort of signal strength meter, but with the 5gig stuff, higher signal strength doesn't necessarily equate to less RFI.
